Chapter 1498 – Pulling Out by the Roots
“It seems like the faction hidden here is a Heavenly Hall!” Zhao Feng smiled.
Heavenly Halls were peak four-star factions at most, with their strongest members being half-step God Lords. Wiping out such a faction would be easy.
Bzzzz!
Upon confirming this, Zhao Feng sent his Divine Sense creeping forward toward that hidden faction deep underground.
“As expected!” Zhao Feng faintly smiled.
Based on the probing of his Divine Sense, the majority of the members of this faction were beneath the Ancient God level, and there were not many Ancient God experts. This was definitely a Heavenly Hall.
Suddenly, Zhao Feng grimaced.
“What? How could this person be here?!” Zhao Feng’s brow furrowed in anger.
Deep underground, in the center of a dimly-lit secret hall, was a cloud of black mist. Seated cross-legged within this mist was none other than the Ancient Soul Hall Master.
“Who is it?” The Ancient Soul Hall Master sensed a Second Heaven Divine Sense, and he sent out his own Divine Sense to see what was going on.
He quickly spotted Zhao Feng. However, Zhao Feng had changed his external appearance. This, along with the concealment of the Heavenly Closure Seal, meant that the Ancient Soul Hall Master did not recognize Zhao Feng.
Above Thunderstorm Valley, Zhao Feng hesitated a moment before charging underground.
It was only the Ancient Soul Hall Master. During the war in the Scorching Underworld, he had not dared to fight the Ancient Soul Hall Master in open battle, but the current him could easily kill the Ancient Soul Hall Master.
“Sir, you are seeking death!” The Ancient Soul Hall Master grunted, and then he charged out to meet Zhao Feng.
Back when Ancient Soul Hall was dealt a severe blow by Giant God Hall, the members of Ancient Soul Hall had scattered. Meanwhile, he was pursued by Xin Wuheng and the Giant God Race’s Grand Elder, only managing to escape after a long time.
He was extremely unwilling to accept this result. If not for Zhao Feng, Ancient Soul Hall would have never lost. Thus, God Lord Stellar Aspect allowed him to remain at the Heavenly Yao Hall in the Chixing Zone. Once he recovered, the Heaven’s Legacy Races would assist him in restoring what had been lost.
The Ancient Soul Hall Master immediately agreed. He focused on cultivation within the Heavenly Yao Hall in the hopes of one day exterminating Giant God Hall. Now that someone was attacking the Heavenly Yao Hall, he could show off his abilities!
Zhao Feng said nothing. He only gathered up a ball of Primal Chaos energy and fired it.
Zhao Feng only chose to attack because the Ancient Soul Hall Master had yet to recognize him. As long as he could kill the Ancient Soul Hall Master while maintaining his cover, the Heaven’s Legacy Race would not know that Zhao Feng had done all this.
The moment he cast out the Primal Chaos energy, it began to absorb all the other energy in the area.
“This is… Primal Chaos energy!” As a Second Heaven God Lord, the Ancient Soul Hall Master could naturally recognize what it was.
He couldn’t help but be startled. Just who was this visitor? He actually possessed Primal Chaos energy!
Whoosh!
The Ancient Soul Hall Master immediately took evasive measures.
The Ancient Soul Race was skilled in the Soul Dao, and he naturally wasn’t so much of a fool as to compete in Divine Power with a God Lord that possessed Primal Chaos energy.
At the same moment, the Ancient Soul Hall Master sent out a message; “Unknown peak First Heaven God Lord is attacking the Heavenly Yao Hall!”
In a pitch-black dimension, God Lord Stellar Aspect received this message.
“What’s going on?” Yu Liuping softly asked.
“The Ancient Soul Hall Master has sent word that an unknown peak First Heaven God Lord is attacking the Heavenly Yao Hall!” God Lord Stellar Aspect earnestly replied.
“It’s only a First Heaven. Leave it to the Ancient Soul Hall Master to handle. In the last few days, the Light Race Divine Kingdom has opened up twice, allowing us to grasp some information. As long as it opens one more time….” Yu Liuping’s dark and profound eyes gleamed with desire and impatience.
God Lord Stellar Aspect nodded, turning his gaze to the complex Heaven’s Legacy array.
They had been constantly watching and observing the Light Race Divine Kingdom, looking for any flaws and attempting to invade it. Not even Yu Liuping, who was a Venerable Elder of the Heaven’s Legacy Race, could directly invade it.
However, each time the Light Race Divine Kingdom opened, Yu Liuping would able to obtain some information. He was confident that, if the Light Race Divine Kingdom opened one more time, he would be able to find a weak area in the Divine Kingdom through which he could open up a hole!
Back in the Heavenly Yao Hall, the Ancient Soul Hall Master attacked, sending forth a pitch-black beam of energy with a wave of his palm that was imbued with the power to extinguish souls.
Zhao Feng could see that there was an enormous black bat in this beam, its eyes glistening.
Thwish!
Zhao Feng charged downward. The pitch-black beam passed by Zhao Feng, but the bat flew out, opened its mouth, and unleashed a black wave of energy.
This bat was the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s Soul Beast. Even without his control, it was intelligent enough to attack enemies.
But Zhao Feng was so fast that he left this Soul Beast far behind.
“So fast, it’s a Space Law… not good! He’s after the Heavenly Yao Hall!” The Ancient Soul Hall Master was shocked, and then he grimaced.
In order to hide his identity, Zhao Feng used only the Space Law, keeping the Time Law hidden.
Thwish!
Zhao Feng instantly reached the Heavenly Yao Hall and shattered its defensive domain with one punch. Zhao Feng proceeded to rush into the Heavenly Yao Hall and gathered his soul energy into a sword.
Thwish!
As he flew, he used his soul energy to cut down everyone he encountered, slaying them all.
“Stop!” The Ancient Soul Hall Master followed close behind, frantically shouting.
He had one other mission in remaining here: keeping the Heavenly Yao Hall safe.
The appearance of the Ninth God Eye had changed the Chixing Zone, and an undercurrent was flowing. The mere peak four-star faction that was the Heavenly Yao Hall had a chance of being discovered.
Thwish!
Zhao Feng made his way through the Heavenly Yao Hall, killing everyone he encountered. In just a few moments, Zhao Feng had killed everyone present. After all, it was just a peak four-star faction, with half-step God Lords at most. They were powerless against Zhao Feng’s soul energy.
After killing everyone, Zhao Feng left the Heavenly Yao Hall.
“Sir, just who are you?” The Ancient Soul Hall Master had a grim expression. God Lord Stellar Aspect would assuredly blame him for the destruction of the Heavenly Yao Hall.
The Ancient Soul Hall Master sensed that this person was extremely abnormal. Perhaps he could somewhat make up for his offense by finding out who they were.
“I’ll tell you when you’re dead!” Zhao Feng chuckled.
“Seeking death!” The Ancient Soul Hall Master fumed.
How could he, a Second Heaven God Lord, possibly be killed by this man? Moreover, he had been cultivating recently, and he was much stronger than he was in the past.
Boomboomboom!
The Ancient Soul Hall Master waved his hands, firing one black beam of energy after another. This underground region began to crumble and collapse.
Bzzz!
Zhao Feng unleashed Primal Chaos energy to form a wall in front of him. The unique trait of Primal Chaos energy was enough to block the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s frantic attacks.
At the same time, Zhao Feng shot up to the Ancient Soul Hall Master.
“What a powerful defense!” The Ancient Soul Hall Master grimaced, but he did not retreat.
“Soul-Destroying Wave!” The Ancient Soul Hall Master bellowed, forming a spell. A black stream of energy exuding an astonishing Soul energy appeared between his hands.
The black bat immediately returned to his side and fused with the stream of energy.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Ancient Soul Hall Master thrust out both palms, and then a pitch-black wave of energy swept out toward Zhao Feng. This time, the Ancient Soul Hall Master using a pure Soul energy attack, his strongest and most lethal technique.
The pitch-black wave passed through the Primal Chaos wall, which had little effect, and crashed into Zhao Feng’s soul body.
The Ancient Soul Hall Master couldn’t help but smile. The Ancient Soul Race was skilled in the Soul Dao, and this move of his would either annihilate or heavily injure a soul.
But the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s expression soon went stiff in shock. He did not see the result he had imagined. Zhao Feng appeared to be little affected. In fact, he extended both his arms and unleashed powerful Primal Chaos energy.
“Primal Chaos Lock!” Primal Chaos energy flooded the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s surroundings, tightly enclosing him in streams of chaotic energy. These chaotic streams of energy began to tighten, swiftly closing in around him.
The devouring attribute of Primal Chaos energy was soon making itself felt on every part of the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s body. The Ancient Soul Hall Master was trying to fight back, but the moment he released Divine Power, it would be partially absorbed by the Primal Chaos energy around him.
Thwish!
Zhao Feng slowly flew over to the tightly-bound Ancient Soul Hall Master.
He had intentionally allowed himself to be struck by the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s soul attack so that the latter would drop his guard. After all, Zhao Feng’s soul defenses were completely capable of taking such a blow.
Slap!
Zhao Feng struck the Primal Chaos Lock with his palm, controlling the Primal Chaos energy to draw even tighter. The Ancient Soul Hall Master was immediately placed under immense and painful pressure. The Divine Power in his body was rapidly drained away by the Primal Chaos Lock.
“Aaah…! Who are you?” The Ancient Soul Hall Master screamed.
In order to conceal his identity, Zhao Feng had used barely any of his skills, and he had even taken a soul attack. Even now, the Ancient Soul Hall Master did not know who Zhao Feng was.
The Ancient Soul Hall Master vigorously struggled, but at this moment, he was meat on the cutting board and incapable of fighting back.
“When you arrived, I immediately informed the Heaven’s Legacy Race. They’re probably coming this way. If you kill me, you’ll be doomed!” the Ancient Soul Hall Master hastily said.
He hoped that the name of the Heaven’s Legacy Race would frighten this mysterious expert.
“There’s no need to talk. You’re doomed, so before you die, I’ll tell you who I am.” Zhao Feng chuckled as he sent Soul Intent coupled with astonishing Tribulation Lightning energy toward the Ancient Soul Hall Master.
Swish!
The Primal Chaos Lock was instantly covered in Tribulation Lightning energy. Zhao Feng suddenly increased the strength, using almost all his power to strike with Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energy. The weak Ancient Soul Hall Master’s soul was instantly extinguished.
Before death, he came to know that this was Zhao Feng, because this Soul Intent and Tribulation Lightning were things that he was rather familiar with. But it was precisely because he knew that he died in complete unwillingness.
After looting the Ancient Soul Hall Master’s possessions, Zhao Feng charged back into the Heavenly Yao Hall.
In truth, he could have directly destroyed the Heavenly Yao Hall, but instead, he had chosen to use soul attacks to kill all its members. This was because he was very interested in the information the Heavenly Yao Hall had gathered.
Zhao Feng quickly found the intelligence reports in the Heavenly Yao Hall and put them away. There were a few special installations that he did not dare to take away, as he feared that they could be used to find his location.
After doing what he needed, Zhao Feng destroyed the Heavenly Yao Hall with a wave of his hand.
Back then, God Lord Heavenly Solitude had used some miraculous method to take up the entirety of the massive Heavenly Demon Hall, leaving Zhao Feng utterly amazed. Now, Zhao Feng could wipe out a faction of the same level, the Heavenly Yao Hall, with a wave of his hand.
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng used Instant Movement to quickly leave the area. At the same time, he got in touch with Twilight Valley and prepared to return to the Light Race Divine Kingdom.
