Chapter 1339 – Don’t Flee, Counterattack
There were nine Divine Stages, each representing a rank. The formation of each Divine Stage consumed all the reserves accumulated in the previous rank.
Zhao Feng had spent very little time as a Rank Seven Ancient God, but he had consumed countless precious resources in this period and participated in numerous battles. Moreover, Zhao Feng cultivated the high-level and extremely stable top-class divine-level technique that was the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique. For these reasons, Zhao Feng had more than enough reserves for this endeavor.
Because he was attempting to break into Rank Eight in secret, Zhao Feng completely locked down the Spacetime Robe, making it so that the heavenly phenomena would not appear in the outside world. However, this also meant that Zhao Feng was unable to absorb much Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
Fortunately, Zhao Feng was ready with piles of cultivation resources.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
He began to take out numerous resources suitable for breaking into the next rank and began to absorb their energy.
“Soon…!” Zhao Feng was ecstatic.
His eighth Divine Stage was already eighty percent complete.
As he was forming his Divine Stage, Zhao Feng could clearly sense his Divine Power evolving, becoming even more refined and impregnable. His Soul Intent was also advancing, slowly rising until it far exceeded the Soul Intent of ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods.
At a certain moment, Zhao Feng’s body exploded with divine radiance that illuminated the Spacetime Robe Dimension.
“Broke through!” Zhao Feng opened his bright eyes and spat out a ball of turbid breath.
His greatest improvement in advancing to Rank Eight was in Divine Power, while second to that were his Soul Intent and Divine Body.
Clingclang!
Next to Zhao Feng, the little thieving cat threw out several bronze coins and then curled up into a ball.
“Inauspicious omen?” Zhao Feng’s face froze. Was him breaking into Rank Eight actually a bad thing?
“Something’s wrong!” Zhao Feng’s face grimaced as his left eye unleashed astonishing pulses of Eye Intent.
A moment later, his gaze pierced through the Spacetime Robe Dimension and through several layers of walls, focusing on a distant area.
“Someone is hiding nearby?” Zhao Feng’s eyes swept his surroundings and ultimately discovered two people. One was a Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body while the other was a Rank Eight Ancient God.
For members of the Heavenly Demon Hall to appear in his surroundings wasn’t strange. What was strange was that these two people were intentionally hiding.
“It seems like my location has been exposed!” Zhao Feng’s expression darkened as he stood up.
At present, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Hui were still trying to break through. After all, unlike them, Zhao Feng had started his breakthrough from the peak of his rank. Meanwhile, Zhao Wang had just reached Rank Six and Zhao Hui had just reached Rank Three, so they would take much longer to break through.
Thwish!
Zhao Feng appeared in the air, wearing the Spacetime Robe. Covered by the Illusion God, he began to rapidly move. He used the concealment technique he had learned from Ancient God Luo Ling, so he created extremely small spatial ripples. Those of the same rank would find him almost impossible to perceive.
But suddenly, a spatial barrier appeared in front of Zhao Feng.
“Oh no!” Zhao Feng grimaced once more.
He was originally planning to escape without making any ruckus, but he had not expected for his opponent to have erected barriers around him. Spatial barriers could defend and hinder, but they could also serve as warnings.
“I just have to push through!” Zhao Feng’s expression sank.
If he wanted to leave, he had to get through this spatial barrier. If he did this, he would expose his location, but he had no other choice. His enemies were in hiding and had erected spatial barriers probably because they wanted to wait until everyone arrived so they could surround and kill Zhao Feng. Thus, he had to break out now.
Although he decided to break out, Zhao Feng did not immediately take action. In any case, breaking through this spatial barrier would reveal his location, so it was far better to kill someone before leaving and save himself some trouble.
Thwish!
Zhao Feng traveled through the limited area for a while.
“It’s you then.” Zhao Feng’s eyes pierced through several walls to settle on a Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body.
Swish!
Space began to blur around Zhao Feng. A moment later, he blinked away through a spatial barrier to appear in front of the Rank Seven Ancient God.
“Who’s there?”
The Rank Seven Ancient God was one of Ancient God Nether Spring’s Samsara Immortal Bodies, and it also had a strand of Ancient God Nether Spring’s soul, so it was extremely sensitive to danger. It reacted the moment Zhao Feng used Spatial Blink.
“Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!” Zhao Feng stared at the Rank Seven Ancient God, his left eye surging with frenzied ripples of Eye Intent.
Kacrack!
A dreamy bolt of lightning exploded on the Rank Seven Ancient God. Terrifying Tribulation Lightning energy tore through its soul and pulverized it.
“Hmph!” Zhao Feng coldly snorted before fleeing.
…
Back in the core secret hall:
“Hisss!” Ancient God Nether Spring gasped in pain.
A strand of his soul was attached to another soul. This soul came under attack, and he was somewhat affected by it.
Ancient God Nether Spring never expected for Zhao Feng’s soul attacks to be so powerful. The strength it explosively unleashed instantly killed the soul of a Rank Seven Ancient God. Otherwise, Ancient God Nether Spring would have been able to send strength to his Samsara Immortal Body so that it could last a little longer.
“Hmph! After stealing some Heavenly God Liquid, he’s broken into Rank Eight!” Ancient God Nether Spring’s expression was grim and angry.
Although it was only for a moment, he sensed Zhao Feng’s true cultivation level.
“This brat can’t be left alive!” Ancient God Nether Spring grumbled.
“Elder, our people are extremely close to the area. He can’t escape!” A blue-haired operator gave a sinister laugh.
It had already been some time since Zhao Feng’s hiding spot was discovered. Although there were only two people nearby, there were plenty of people approaching the target zone.
“Mm. My Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body is a little far, but he shouldn’t be needed.” Ancient God Nether Spring coldly laughed.
If Ancient God Luo Ling was the one hiding there, then they would only have a chance of victory if his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body participated. But if it was just Zhao Feng, even if he had recently broken into Rank Eight, it was still only Rank Eight. He would probably be captured or killed before his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body could even arrive.
…
“Not good! Someone’s here!” The fleeing Zhao Feng suddenly sensed that a Rank Eight Ancient God was rapidly approaching. If he didn’t change course, the two would run into each other.
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng could only change his route and continue his flight.
However, he fled for only a few seconds before sensing yet another figure.
“My location has been completely exposed. All the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall’s search team are gathering here.” Zhao Feng suddenly stopped, his eyes calm and composed.
With his location already confirmed, he would find it very difficult to escape.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll just kill a few of them!” Zhao Feng’s eyes gleamed with ruthless light.
If everyone gathered, Zhao Feng would find it hard to singlehandedly hold them all off. Thus, it was better to kill off some of them to reduce the pressure when the rest of them gathered.
“Kill!” After making his decision, Zhao Feng gave up on running.
Swish!
He suddenly began to charge at an approaching Rank Eight Ancient God.
“There’s a development!” A snakeman covered in blue scales knew from his message token that Zhao Feng was running in his direction. He could also sense spatial ripples and a killing intent targeted at him.
“Why would I be afraid of him? He’s just an Ancient God that recently broke into Rank Eight.” The snakeman’s face turned ruthless.
Bzzzz!
His Eyes of Life began to turn, causing his body to thrum with boundless vitality. In a flash, the blue-scaled snakeman’s body became extremely muscular and was bursting with power. At the same time, two long and savage sabers appeared in his hands.
“Lightning Hegemon Slash!” The snakeman waved his sabers, slashing at the approaching killing intent.
Boom! Hisss!
A massive blade of lightning containing incredible physical strength surged forward. A moment later, Zhao Feng, still enclosed in a ball of multicolored fog, entered his attack range.
“Chaos Origin Divine Fist!” Zhao Feng mobilized his Chaos Origin Divine Power into his fist and punched. A massive fist of gloomy energy shot forward like a black star.
Boom! Bang!
The two clashed, and the snakeman’s blade of lightning crumpled like it was made of paper.
“How could this be!?” The snakeman’s mouth dropped in disbelief. Based on what he knew, his opponent only recently broke into Rank Eight, so how could his Divine Power attacks be so powerful?
“Die for me!” Zhao Feng coldly sneered as he lashed out with his boundless Divine Power.
One had to understand that, even before his breakthrough, his Divine Power attacks were stronger than those of ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods. After his breakthrough, his Divine Power had become even more refined, improving in all aspects. At this point, Zhao Feng’s Divine Power attacks could utterly crush the Divine Power attacks of ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
Zhao Feng’s fierce Chaos Origin Divine Fist crashed into the blue-scaled snakeman like a meteor.
“Damn! Life Origin!”
After suffering this vicious attack, the snakeman immediately activated his Eye of Life. In a flash, his eyes began to send out a ceaseless flow of Life energy that allowed his shattered body to recover with astonishing speed.
“You can’t kill me.” The snakeman sneered.
Firstly, he was a Life God Eye descendant. He had incredibly vitality that made him nigh impossible to kill. Secondly, even if Zhao Feng used all his moves to annihilate him, an Elder of the Heavenly Demon Hall was certain to revive him.
This was a rule of the Heavenly Demon Hall; anyone who died with merit would be revived.
“Can’t kill you?” Zhao Feng smiled as well.
At this moment, his left eye thrummed with Eye Intent.
“So strong…!” The snakeman’s soul instantly quivered in fear.
“Earthshaking Nova!” Zhao Feng immediately unleashed his eye-bloodline technique. A star of chaotic energy took form and engulfed the blue-scaled snakeman.
Boom! Bang! Crash!
All the energies within this star collided with each other and began to tear each other apart. In a flash, the snakeman’s rapidly recovering body was pulverized.
In addition, the power of the Earthshaking Nova also affected his soul. For a moment, the snakeman was unable to focus his mind.
“It’s such a loss to just kill you.” Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled.
Swish!
A translucent mirror crackling with lightning appeared in his hands.
“Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!” Zhao Feng immediately activated his supreme-quality divine artifact.
The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror unleashed Lightning energy that affected both the body and soul. This Lightning energy gradually twisted together into seven chains.
If it was completely refined, there would have been nine chains of lightning.
Clingling!
The seven chains rapidly wrapped around the snakeman’s soul. The chains of lightning then began to exude energy targeted at the soul, constantly numbing and damaging the snakeman’s soul.
“Collect!” Zhao Feng had the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror pull out the snakeman’s soul.
“No!” The snakeman struggled for his life and tried to flee in the opposite direction, but he could never escape. He could only ensure that he wasn’t pulled into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.
“Where are you going?” Zhao Feng growled as he lashed out with another eye-bloodline technique.
At the same time, the chains unleashed more Lightning energy, draining the snakeman’s soul of its ability to resist.
Clingling!
The chains dragged the snakeman’s soul into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.
