Chapter 249 - chapter 298-302

Chapter 298. The Five Races Alliance

  Knowing that Zi Yan was about to ascend to the heavens, Lin Feng felt immense pressure. If he didn't work harder, he'd be ridden on by that little dragon girl. Meanwhile,

  Cai Lin and the others were all in seclusion, each possessing exceptional talent and ambition, unwilling to fall too far behind Zi Yan and Lin Feng.

  At least, they wanted to complete their transformation cultivation by the next time they emerged!

  Among them, Lin Feng had the highest hopes for Qing Lin, who was practically an easy winr, obtaining two one-star Dou Sheng level Nine Netherworld Pythons without lifting a finger.

  Even outside the secret chamber, Lin Feng sensed that Qing Lin had entered the transformation realm during her nearly year-long seclusion.

  He had no idea what realm she had reached, fearing his soul power might awaken her.

  The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, while leaning towards allure, was also extremely powerful in terms of perception!

  After glancing at Cai Lin and the others, Lin Feng headed deep into the Void Thunder Pool, intending to fight the Black Demon Thunder, comparable to a Dou Sheng.

  With the most terrifying destructive power, he slightly stabilized the floating battle qi, while simultaneously cleansing his soul power of yin energy.

  However, his seclusion this time was definitely not long; the birth of the Bodhi Ancient Tree was drawing ever closer!

  As for the soul energy clusters that Senior Zhugong and the others had obtained from the Soul Palace deep within the Soul Sea, there was no time to absorb them at the moment.

  When Lin Feng's figure appeared deep within the Thunder Pool, gradually approaching the Black Demon Thunder representing the battle power of a Dou Sheng, the Central Plains were plunged into shock, turmoil, and panic.

  One Palace, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion!

  These were the strongest forces in the Central Plains on the surface. Even the weakest of them, the Four Directions Pavilion, represented extremely terrifying power.

  The return of the true Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, the Medicine Venerable—no, the Medicine Saint—shocked everyone.

  The Beast Domain Overlord, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, behind the Wind and Thunder Pavilion possessed even more terrifying energy, even having the power of a true Dou Sheng.

  The near extinction of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan remained unknown to many powerful figures in the Central Continent. Both the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan and the Nine Netherworld Python clan tacitly concealed the news.

  The other two pavilions also had powerful hidden forces behind them, and the Three Valleys were even more so; in the eyes of those truly well-informed, all three had half-saints behind them.

  Otherwise, they would be comparable to Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, Binghe of Ice River Valley, and the Pavilion Masters of the Four Directions Pavilion.

  The half-saints of the Heavenly Nether Sect and the Flower Sect were openly acknowledged. Not long ago, the Heavenly Nether Sect even attempted to annex the Flower Sect with the help of its former sect master, Hua Jin.

  If it weren't for the intervention of Master Lin Feng, the prodigy of the Pill Tower, the Flower Sect might already be famous, and the Pill Tower's power was undeniable.

  These forces all had to yield to the Soul Palace.

  However, this terrifying power, possessing a super overlord with a terrifying expert like Soul Extinction, vanished overnight, plunging the entire Central Continent into panic.

  Amidst the changing winds, the alliance led by the Pill Tower and joined by forces such as the Flower Sect and the Starfall Pavilion immediately attracted many hidden powerhouses.

  Even several half-saint level experts were present, but the true Dou Sheng experts remained hidden.

  This was due to information asymmetry; even ordinary low-level Dou Sheng were unaware of the struggles between the imperial clans.

  If they were, even the Shennong Elder, leisurely sipping tea in the Shennong Mountains, would have eagerly joined the alliance. While this

  stirred up waves across the Central Continent, the true overlords of the Dou Qi Continent, aside from the Soul Clan, were also shocked by the news from the Ancient Clan and flocked to their ancestral home.

  "Gu Yuan, are you sure the information the Ancient Clan has gathered is true?"

  A burly man with bulging muscles roared, his voice echoing throughout the hall, deafening everyone present.

  This man was none other than Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan and a late-stage eight-star Dou Sheng.

  "Lei Ying, you still have the same impatience after all these centuries!"

  A voluptuous woman in red robes rubbed her slightly aching ears in the main hall, expressing her displeasure.

  "Hahaha, Fire Spirit Fairy, please forgive me, old Lei is used to it!"

  Lei Ying, a muscular giant, wouldn't stoop to a woman's level, especially since she was a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. When she went berserk, no one in the Lei Clan besides him could withstand her.

  Yao Dan and Shi Yan, standing to the side, remained silent. One was a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, the other a peak Six-Star Dou Sheng. Upon receiving the news from the Ancient Clan, their vision went black, as if the world was about to collapse.

  Their thoughts were remarkably similar: they were determined to cling to the Ancient Clan's coattails, doing whatever they were told without question. Yan Jin,

  with a flame mark rising between his brows, remained silent, his face thoughtful.

  This late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng was, besides Xiao Xuan, the only other powerful figure who had forcibly fused multiple different flames with sheer strength.

  Furthermore, considering the legacy of the Flame Emperor of the Flame Clan, Lin Feng even secretly speculated that if this person had obtained the Burning Technique, the Soul Emperor probably wouldn't even have had a chance to become an emperor!

  "Everyone, the Spirit Clan's ancestral lands have all disappeared. The last Devouring Spirit King was dealt with by the Soul Clan. As the most ancient imperial clan, the Soul Clan's bloodline power is still at the divine level!"

  Seeing everyone's gazes on him, Gu Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the information he had obtained.

  "What all these circumstances indicate is perfectly clear to everyone!"

  Gu Yuan looked at the somber faces of Lei Ying and the others, nodded slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Fortunately, we had the reminder from Zhugong. Otherwise, these people would probably still doubt our Ancient Clan!"

  "After all, the Ancient Clan is the most powerful clan among all the imperial clans."

  "Gu Yuan, since the Ancient Clan discovered the matter of the Soul Clan, you are the only one who can stand against the Soul Emperor. Tell me your thoughts!"

  As expected of the clan leader, Yan Jin immediately hit the nail on the head, pointing out Gu Yuan's intentions.

  "My idea is simple: the five clans will secretly unite and wait for the Soul Clan to make their next move. Then, we will launch a full-scale attack to defeat the Soul Clan and at least kill many of the high-level Dou Sheng besides the Soul Emperor!"

  "The five clans?"

  Lei Ying murmured, but it sounded like a shout to everyone, causing the Fire Spirit Fairy to frown slightly again.

  "Gu Yuan, I've heard that another outstanding figure has emerged among the younger generation of the Xiao clan. Could it be that one of the five clans is the Xiao clan?"

  Lei Ying's tone was somewhat disdainful. Although he did admire Xiao Xuan, the Xiao clan was not even invincible in the Central Plains. How could they still be worthy of the name of an imperial clan?

  Even Yao Dan and Shi Yan's faces showed a hint of approval.

  "Naturally not the Xiao Clan. Friends of the Dragon Clan, please show yourselves!"

  "The Dragon Clan?"

  Lei Ying and Yan Jin suddenly looked up, gazing at a certain point in the void. Yao Dan was also slow to react, while only Shi Yan was unaware of what the others were saying.

  Having not yet reached the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm, he was still far inferior to those present.

  "Buzz"

  "Hahaha, I am Zhu Gong, greetings to all!"

  Zhu Gong's tall figure appeared in the hall, stroking his beard and laughing, nodding to everyone.

  "Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, Eight-Star Dou Sheng, we must have a good spar sometime!"

  Sensing Zhu Gong's formidable physical strength, Lei Ying was eager to test his skills. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he probably would have already unleashed his lightning fist.

  "Hahaha, if friends of the Lei Clan are interested, I will naturally oblige!"

  Zhu Gong laughed heartily, his face showing some eagerness. Lei Ying's straightforward nature, coupled with his powerful body forged by lightning, was quite to Zhu Gong's liking.

  "Gentlemen, business is of the essence! If you wish to fight, the upcoming battle against the Soul Clan will surely satisfy you."

  Seeing these two belligerent individuals, Gu Yuan was somewhat troubled and could only try to divert their attention.

  Zhu Gong Lei Ying exchanged a glance, understanding the gravity of the situation, and nodded slightly, but also secretly communicated that they would have a pure physical strength contest later.   

  "With the Dragon Clan joining us, in terms of strength, we completely crush everyone except for those at the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level."

  Gu Yuan then explained the plan, and Yan Jin and the others nodded slightly; the strategy was quite good.

  "Everyone, we must also be careful to guard against the spies that the Soul Emperor has planted in each race. I suggest that before we actually take action, we should not tell anyone about this alliance!"

  "That's only right!"

  Yan Jin and the others were even more cautious about the Soul Emperor, not only because he was only one star lower, but more importantly, because this guy was the peerless hero who had defeated Xiao Xuan.

  After refining the plan, the group returned to the worlds of their respective races, as if nothing had ever happened.

  Time flew by. Ten months had passed since the end of the Heavenly Tomb journey, the return to Dragon Island, the brief stay, and the arrival at the Void Thunder Pool.

  For the first three months, Lin Feng dared not touch the Black Demon Thunder, which was comparable to a Dou Sheng, and could only test his skills on the Thunder Serpent, which was comparable to a Half-Saint.

  After all, the thunder here appeared in swarms, giving no chance for one-on-one combat.

  Even so, once he truly entered the deepest part of the Void Thunder Pool, Lin Feng could only flee for his life, utterly powerless against the Black Demon Thunder.

  Had Zhu Yan been there to protect him, he would likely have been severely injured.

  Given the Black Demon Thunder's speed, Lin Feng didn't even have time to use the Dragon Emperor's Blood Essence to protect himself, and his only soul technique effective against Dou Sheng was inherently countered by lightning.

  It could be said that among his peers, this was Lin Feng's strongest opponent!

  Fortunately, after so many years of tempering with the Pill Thunder, his body had developed resistance, and the power of lightning had weakened somewhat.

  After ten months, although his cultivation level hadn't improved further, his extremely unstable Dou Qi had stabilized.

  What pleased him even more was that, perhaps due to spending too much time in this lightning world, the Yin Qi in his soul had decreased by thirty percent, reaching a balance of Yin and Yang.

  Now, using the same soul power to unleash the Returning Origin Divine Needle, its power had nearly doubled.

  Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan bluntly stated that even a two-star Dou Sheng, caught completely off guard, would have their soul annihilated!

  Lin Feng was overjoyed. The Dou Sheng realm was a world apart from other realms, a sentiment echoed by many Dou Sheng.

  Before becoming a Dou Sheng, one is nothing but an ant!

  Even with the powerful weapon of the Buddha's Fury Lotus, Xiao Yan would likely struggle against a Dou Sheng's energy manipulation.

  Unless, of course, his Strange Flame's level was comparable to the top five!

  Lin Feng's current soul-killing technique could threaten a two-star Dou Sheng, proving that his step to remove the Yin energy from his soul was finally correct.

  "Perhaps, breaking through to the Emperor realm and removing the Yin energy from the soul is also a crucial step!"

  "Unfortunately, time waits for no one; I must seize that opportunity!"

  Lin Feng glanced one last time at the depths of the Void Thunder Pool, seemingly seeing a colossal thunder dragon thousands of feet long, its body radiating boundless thunderous power.

  In his perception, among the dragons, only Zhu Gong, a super-strong individual, could surpass it.

  "Next time I come here, I can try to communicate with them!"

  Returning to Dragon Island, Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised to see the old dragon Zhugong and Ancestor Xuandan drinking tea and chatting happily.

  "Hahaha, Lin Feng, we were just talking about you when you returned. What a coincidence!"

  Ancestor Xuandan took a sip of spiritual tea and smiled slightly. Perhaps due to a breakthrough in his cultivation, this ancestor now had completely white hair and beard. This

  made it feel natural for Lin Feng to address him as "Ancestor.

  " "Senior Zhugong, Ancestor!"

  "Sit!"

  Ancestor Xuandan gestured, then looked Lin Feng up and down before commenting,

  "I heard from that old fellow Zhugong that your cultivation had become extremely unstable in your pursuit of becoming a high-level Half-Saint. But now it seems it's not so bad!"

  Zhugong nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

  "While it can't compare to your previous profound and pure essence, it's still quite good compared to a high-level semi-saint of the same level!"

  "With your talent, even if you proceed step by step, you can advance to the Dou Sheng realm within thirty to fifty years!"

  The carefree Xuan Dan Ancestor took another sip of spiritual tea, seemingly quite fond of it.

  Lin Feng nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhu Gong's words, but inwardly he didn't think so.

  If he could become a Dou Sheng in thirty to fifty years, then he could dedicate his time to alchemy, waiting to become the chief alchemist of the Soul-Sitting Emperor.

  "What are your plans next?"

  "Reporting to Ancestor, I have received news that the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which appears only once every ten thousand years, is about to reappear."

  Lin Feng stood up and looked towards the direction of the Desolate Ancient Domain, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

  "I must seize this opportunity! With the help of the legendary Bodhi Heart, I will reach the Dou Sheng realm in one fell swoop!"

  The two nodded, approving of Lin Feng's plan. Using the power of the Bodhi Ancient Tree would save a lot of time, and even make him more powerful after becoming a Dou Sheng.

  "You should also refine the Soul Origin as soon as possible," Zhu Gong said, then seemed to remember something and pointed a finger. Some information appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

  "These are the insights of the Dragon Clan throughout history who broke through to the Soul Emperor realm. Although humans and dragons are different, in the end, they all arrive at the same destination. You can take a look!"

  "Hahaha, since that's the case, I, the Ancestor, cannot remain silent!"

  After taking another sip of spiritual tea, Ancestor Xuan Dan also pointed a finger, and Lin Feng's head suddenly felt a little dizzy.

  "These are the alchemy techniques left by the founder of the Pill Tower, from first-grade to ninth-grade Golden Pills, and even include speculations about Emperor Pills!"

  Ancestor Xuan Dan smiled slightly, with a hint of pride on his face.

  "Even compared to the Medicine Emperor's inheritance, it's probably only lacking in the understanding of Emperor Pills!"

  Lin Feng glanced around and saw many ingenious ideas about alchemy, as well as descriptions of Emperor-level souls in both documents.

  Lin Feng opened his mouth, unsure how to express his gratitude, which made the two elders smile slightly.

  "Apart from Princess Zi Yan, those little girls Cai Lin have already emerged from seclusion, so you don't need to stay here with us old folks!"

  "Yes!"

  After a slight fist salute, Lin Feng kept their help in mind and silently departed.

  Without needing the Dragon Guards to lead the way, Lin Feng arrived at a small courtyard and saw Cai Lin and the others discussing something. Qing Lin's face, however, was inexplicably flushed.

  "This is...?"

  The three women suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked towards the entrance, where they saw the person they longed for.

  "Lin Feng."

Chapter 299 Space Trade Fair

  The golden desert stretched as far as the eye could see, the swirling sandstorms giving Lin Feng the feeling of being in the Tagor Desert.

  Beside him, Cai Lin reached out and caught a wisp of sand drifting by, seemingly reminiscing about the past.

  "Let's go. The most prestigious trade fair in the Central Continent is about to begin, and news of the Bodhi Ancient Tree will also emerge there."

  Lin Feng gazed at the desert ahead, his eyes gleaming as if he could see through space itself, spotting the spatial town hidden deep within.

  "A small world of this level is absolutely impossible to create without a high-level Dou Sheng. This trade fair presents quite a good opportunity!"

  Although he hadn't yet reached the Dou Sheng level, Lin Feng's spatial mastery was already comparable to that of an ordinary Dou Sheng. With the help of the Dragon Clan's spatial inheritance, his vision was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

  As for whether a high-level Dou Sheng existed behind the spatial trade fair, Lin Feng hadn't even considered it.

  Every Dou Sheng was a brilliant and talented individual, and their emergence would undoubtedly attract the attention of many powerful figures in the world, let alone Dou Sheng of seven stars or higher.

  "Unfortunately, this spatial trade fair has been held for hundreds or even thousands of years. The legacy of the Dou Sheng has probably been completely digested by someone!"

  Without further thought, Lin Feng led his group directly into the spatial town.

  The most prestigious trade fair on the Central Continent was about to open. Not only had Lin Feng received this news, but the entity behind the fair had also spread it half a month ago.

  Even now, amidst the turbulent times on the Central Continent, with even a super overlord like the Soul Palace disappearing without a trace,

  the news of the spatial trade fair had already attracted numerous hidden powerhouses.

  After entering the spatial town, Lin Feng and his group sensed many powerful figures hidden within, but with Lin Feng's current level, he didn't perceive any threat.

  "It's a pity this world doesn't have the worldview of immortality. If it did, I could just force my way into the person behind that trade fair, make them kneel down, and hand over the fragment of the Strange Flame Map!"

  "If they refuse, I could just say the classic line, 'You're finished, no one in heaven or earth can save you.'"

  Shaking his head, Lin Feng put the thought out of his mind. Although his talent was good, he didn't have a magic weapon or system that could traverse the heavens.

  "If one day I can reach the Sovereign Realm, I might consider the Sovereign World beyond the Great Thousand Worlds!"

  "Earth Demon Leg, high-level Earth-rank combat skill."

  "Bone of an unknown 100,000-year-old demonic beast, can be integrated into the body, increasing speed by 10%."

  "Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar, combat skill level unknown."

  When he heard Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar, Lin Feng stopped, his face somewhat puzzled.

  "Brother Lin Feng, what's wrong?"

  Qing Lin secretly transmitted her voice, her little face showing some joy. In her memory, since growing up, such carefree days with Lin Feng had become increasingly rare.

  Knowing the power of the Soul Clan, she naturally wouldn't unreasonably demand Lin Feng accompany her shopping. Instead, she desperately absorbed the energy of the two Dou Sheng, striving to become even stronger.

  Therefore, she felt quite relaxed, as if she had returned to her childhood.

  "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of an old friend. I wonder if he's still competing in the peak tournament?"

  Seeing Lin Feng speaking incomprehensible language again, Qing Lin and the others exchanged glances but didn't ask further.

  The group continued walking along the street, encountering many unusual items. Whenever this happened, Lin Feng naturally bought them all with a wave of his hand.

  "That Nine-Colored Origin Stone, I really must get it!"

  Lin Feng thought to himself. In truth, the Nine-Colored Origin Stone wasn't as useful to Cai Lin anymore.

  The several Devouring Pythons collected by Dragon Island had reached the level of two or three-star Dou Sheng. After Cai Lin received their inheritance, she was now entirely a Nine-Colored Devouring Python, possessing the highest bloodline!

  This Nine-Colored Origin Stone would at most provide Cai Lin with energy for her own bloodline!

  "Senior Brother Lin Feng, you've arrived too!"

  Just as Lin Feng was secretly observing and searching for the nine-colored primordial stone, a familiar voice brought him back to his senses.

  Looking up, he saw the radiant smile of Xiao Tianzun from the Soul Palace. "Could it be that Xiao Tianzun's performance has improved again this year?"

  "Elder Yao, Junior Brother Xiao Yan!"

  Nodding to the two, Lin Feng was about to say something when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Cai Lin had suddenly stopped and was looking in a certain direction.

  Following her gaze, a seven-colored stone appeared in his eyes.

  After gesturing to Xiao Yan and Elder Yao, Lin Feng led the group to the vendor's stall, and a seven-colored dragon was unleashed.

  "Old sir, all the goods in front of you are mine!"

  "Hahaha, Master Lin Feng is indeed generous. As you said, these things belong to the master!"

  Upon seeing the seven-colored dragon, the gaunt old man was overjoyed and, with the speed of someone who had been single for hundreds of years, instantly stored it in his storage ring.

  With a flash, he headed out of the Space Town, showing no intention of participating in the upcoming Space Trade Fair.

  "Although I don't know what treasures are inside that would warrant such generosity from Master Lin Feng, it's clearly beyond my reach."

  "With this Grade 8 Seven-Colored Pill, my stagnant cultivation level can finally be raised!"

  Seeing the withered old man's actions, Lin Feng paused, then smiled slightly, a wisp of half-saint aura emanating from him, stopping the surrounding figures who wanted to follow.

  "A wise choice!"

  "Cai Lin, take a look at your Nine-Colored Primal Stone!"

  With a wave of his hand, the primal stone appeared in Cai Lin's hand. After half of the Yin energy in his soul had been cleansed, Lin Feng's perception seemed to have undergone some kind of change. Even without a god's-eye view, he could clearly sense the level of the primal stone before him.

  "A Nine-Colored Primal Stone?"

  Xiao Yan, standing to the side, was somewhat shocked. He had some understanding of the Devouring Python, the king bloodline of the snake race.

  However, the Nine-Colored Primal Stone was clearly beyond his comprehension.

  "The Nine-Colored Devouring Python Origin Stone is said to be born only after a Devouring Python at the Dou Sheng level dies, or perhaps from the combined fall of hundreds of Seven-Colored Devouring Pythons,"

  Lin Feng explained briefly, smiling slightly as he looked at the extremely faint ninth line after Cai Lin dripped blood.

  "After obtaining those Devouring Pythons from the Dragon Clan, the barrier to entering the Dou Sheng realm has been completely broken. Now, with this Nine-Colored Origin Stone providing energy, you might be able to enter the Dou Sheng realm before me!"

  Cai Lin looked at the nine-colored lines before her, overjoyed; all that was missing now was the accumulation of energy.

  It was truly because the Dragon Clan was too brutal. Although they claimed to have preserved several Devouring Pythons, in reality, only bones and fragmented intelligence remained, serving only as their inheritance.

  Otherwise, she would still be in seclusion on Dragon Island, refusing to emerge until she broke through to the Dou Sheng realm!

  After obtaining the Nine-Colored Primal Stone, Lin Feng, along with Little Fairy Doctor, bought numerous top-tier poisons, effective even against Dou Zun and Half-Saints.

  Soon, the group entered the Ancient Treasure Pavilion, closing their eyes to rest and await the official start of the trade fair.

  "Lin Feng, kid, you really reached the Advanced Half-Saint realm?"

  Just then, Yao Chen's shameless voice rang in Lin Feng's ears, his disbelief barely concealed.

  He couldn't help but be shocked. An Advanced Half-Saint! If it weren't for his use of half a Dou Sheng's bones and years of cultivation, how could he have broken through to this realm?

  And Lin Feng? Only in his thirties, not even close to his level, he had already reached this realm. How could he bear this?

  Seeing Yao Chen, who seemed to be questioning his existence and awaiting his answer, Lin Feng glanced casually at Xiao Yan beside him, touched his nose, and said shyly,

  "Just good luck!"

  Yao Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood, while Xiao Yan subconsciously touched his nose, then realized something was wrong.

  "Isn't that my catchphrase?"

  Looking at the appearance of the master and disciple, Lin Feng's face was calm and composed, his heart filled with a sense of exhilaration, as if he had released several Xuanbing Dragon Soars, feeling more refreshed than ever before.

  After a little amusement, Lin Feng stopped talking, closed his eyes again, and waited for the trade fair to officially begin.

  And this wait did not last long, when an old figure appeared in his perception.

  "The trade fair has begun!"

  As soon as the words fell, the Treasure Mirror Mountain Master, Old Man Baoshan, appeared in the center of the hall, a scene that made Yao Chen's pupils shrink slightly.   

  "Is this kid's spatial perception really that terrifying?"

  While Yao Chen continued to question his existence, the trade fair officially began, and the first item, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Wings, appeared.

  However, Lin Feng and his group did not bid.

  These Heavenly Demon Phoenix Wings were at most a six-star Dou Zun in their lifetime, and the flight techniques cultivated from these level Heavenly Demon Phoenix Wings would offer little improvement in their speed.

  Not to mention, Lin Feng already possessed three Dou Sheng-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix Wings.

  Even if he wanted to refine them, he wouldn't give these six-star Dou Zun wings a second glance.

  The second item, a low-level Heavenly Rank Dou Technique, caught Xiao Yan's attention.

  "Senior Brother Lin Feng, what are your thoughts on the Vajra Glazed Body?"

  Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Feng subtly, his expression causing Lin Feng to chuckle.

  "Junior Brother Xiao Yan, if you want this Heaven-Rank Body Refining Battle Technique, then make your move and take it!"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that Lin Feng would try to take the technique, and even with his teacher's help, he wasn't confident.

  His teacher speculated that Senior Brother Lin Feng had very likely also reached the level of refining Grade Nine Treasure Pills.

  Given Senior Brother Lin Feng's talent, it was still uncertain who would refine a better Grade Nine Pill.

  "The effects of a Heaven-Rank Body Refining Battle Technique are well-known; at its peak, it can easily shatter the heavens and split the earth."

  "The requirement for the technique's owner is primarily a Heaven-Rank water-attribute cultivation method; pills or other treasures are acceptable! Everyone, let's begin the initial encounter!" A

  low-level Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, and an extremely rare body refining technique at that, attracted the interest of many people in the hall, not just Xiao Yan.

  Even Lin Feng, if it weren't for his extremely powerful dragon-type body-refining technique, wouldn't have bothered to compete for the Vajra Glazed Body.

  In terms of body refining alone, the Ancient Void Dragon could be said to have reached the pinnacle!

  Given Lin Feng's relationship with Zi Yan, obtaining a high-level body-refining technique would be extremely easy.

  Before long, several streaks of light shot into the hands of the Treasure Mountain Elder within the hall. Clearly, these experts didn't want to reveal their identities.

  As expected, after deliberation, the fighting technique wasn't won by Xiao Yan.

  "Teacher, does the owner of this fighting technique not even value a pill of this grade?"

  Xiao Yan looked at the returned pill, somewhat puzzled.

  "Presumably, the winner traded it for a Heaven-rank water-attribute technique!"

  Yao Chen also felt a bit regretful. Even he didn't collect Heaven-rank water-attribute techniques; after all, he hadn't been in the Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill realm for long, and his collection was still far inferior to that of a true Ninth-Rank alchemist.

  In the following auctions, Xiao Yan occasionally made a move, while Lin Feng and his companions remained inactive.

  Clearly, after witnessing the Dragon Clan's treasure trove, the Space Trade Fair, despite being the most prestigious in Central Continent, held little appeal for them.

  If it weren't for wanting to relax with Lin Feng, Cai Lin and the others likely wouldn't have come.

  However, Lin Feng did manage to bid on the Heavenly Nether Poison Scripture and hand it to Little Fairy Doctor.

  A poison scripture at the Dou Sheng level was extremely rare, and Little Fairy Doctor was quite pleased.

  Seeing this, the old man Yao Chen's expression shifted, as if he remembered something, and he transmitted his voice to Lin Feng.

  "Lin Feng, I know of a tomb for someone with the Calamity Poison Physique."

  With that, Yao Chen revealed the location, and Lin Feng, remembering this as well, relayed the location to Little Fairy Doctor.

  Although Lin Feng and his group didn't acquire many items at the auction, it did broaden their horizons.

  As time passed, the trade fair drew to a close, and a fragment of the map appeared in the palm of the Treasure Mountain Elder.

  A glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he gently stroked his storage ring, where three fragments of the map lay quietly.

  With the appearance of these fragments, the breathing within the hall became noticeably heavier.

  Even Xiao Yan beside him could no longer contain himself. For Xiao Yan, who had cultivated the Burning Flame Technique, the strange fire was even more crucial.

  "The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, I must obtain it!"

  Lin Feng clearly wouldn't let go of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's immense energy. If he missed this opportunity, he had absolutely no confidence in reaching the Advanced Dou Sheng realm before the final battle!

  "I have already made the requirements of the owner of the incomplete map clear, so," the old man Baoshan smiled slightly, looking at the trembling aura in the hall,

  "the bidding begins now!"

  "Two Rank 8 Seven-Colored Thunder Pills!"

  "..."

  "Four Rank 8 Eight-Colored Thunder Pills!"

  "Five..."

  "Six..."

  The allure of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was undeniable. Although many powerful figures in the hall, having cultivated to this level, knew that the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, as the third-ranked Strange Flame, was definitely not to be trifled with.

  However, if one were lucky enough to obtain it, then becoming a top-tier Dou Sheng expert and dominating the Central Continent would obviously not be a problem.

  Everyone naturally knew the legend of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, therefore, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly heated.

  "Two Rank 8 Nine-Colored Thunder Pills!"

  Just then, Lin Feng suddenly spoke, instantly silencing the hall.

  "Two Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pills with Thunderous Energy, who is this person?"

  Lin Feng raised the price so high that even the many powerful figures in the hall, who would be considered absolute experts on the Dou Qi Continent, hesitated to speak.

  Five Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pills—it could be said that apart from alchemists, very few people could obtain them.

  "Senior Brother Lin Feng, you also..."

  Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng, unsure how to begin.

  "Junior Brother Xiao Yan, you may not know, but the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is from a five- or six-star Dou Sheng level expert. Even if you obtain the fragment, the final result will only be giving him a strange flame!" "

  Moreover, judging from the quantity, this fragment is only a quarter of the original. Do you still want it?"

  Lin Feng smiled slightly, revealing some information in a roundabout way, thus extinguishing the desire in Xiao Yan's eyes.

  "Phew!"

  Sure enough, Xiao Yan's expression, slightly hidden under his cloak, instantly calmed down, and he gave up bidding on the fragment.

  "A five- or six-star Dou Sheng! Even a half-saint level strange fire would make me hesitate, let alone such a powerful strange fire."

  "This Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, perhaps only a powerhouse like the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint could subdue it!"

  After the bids for two Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Pills were made, the hall remained silent for a long time, with no one speaking.

  The presiding elder, Baoshan, did not continue introducing the treasures as before, attempting to sell them for a higher price.

  Having presided over many Space Trade Fairs, he naturally knew the value range of many treasures. Clearly, Lin Feng's offer had exceeded everyone's bottom line.

  His bid also greatly satisfied Baoshan; this commission alone would make him a fortune.

  "Since no one else is bidding, then this fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame map belongs to this gentleman!"

  After the exchange of money and goods, Baoshan spoke, preparing to announce the final item.

  However, everyone in the hall was distracted, secretly focusing their senses on Lin Feng.

  Clearly, the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, and the very possibility of obtaining the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's inheritance, were enough to make these powerful individuals risk their lives.

  "The last item."

Chapter 300. Yin Yang Harmony Technique

    Inside the main hall, many powerful figures, their faces hidden beneath cloaks, were all somewhat excited.

  This final item for auction was actually ranked after the fragment of the map left behind by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint; its value was sure to be astronomical.

  Some even secretly hoped that the final price would reach the level of a ninth-grade pill!

  "Hehe, everyone, this final item for auction might surprise you all!"

  Elder Baoshan smiled slightly; even he was extremely shocked when he received the news.

  "The legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree, which appears only once every ten thousand years, offering an opportunity to instantly become a saint—it has reappeared!"

  "What!?"

  "The Bodhi Ancient Tree!?"

  As if bombarded by countless Heavenly Rank battle techniques, countless powerful figures in the hall rose to their feet, powerful auras surging forth.

  Even those who had cultivated their battle qi for many years felt they couldn't control it; this showed just how shocked they were.

  "Hahahaha, the Bodhi Tree, which appears only once every ten thousand years, has reappeared! This time, I will definitely seize the opportunity to obtain the legendary Bodhi Heart and become a Dou Sheng powerhouse who can suppress the Central Plains!"

  A loud, aged laugh echoed in the hall, the aura of a half-saint surpassing the Transcendent Dou Zun freely spreading out, making the powerful figures dare not act recklessly.

  "Hmph, Old Monster Li, the Bodhi Heart is not something a rogue cultivator like you can covet. Be careful not to lose thousands of years of cultivation instead of obtaining the treasure!"

  "It's you, Old Monster Hu!"

  The old man called Old Monster Li, although very wary of Old Monster Hu, still dared to speak harshly, not wanting to lose face in front of the powerful figures.

  "Hmph, fortunes change every three hundred years, don't underestimate the poor and old!"

  "Back then you stole my fiancée, and when I become a Dou Sheng, I will surely kill you within the Desolate Ancient Domain!"

  "Hahahaha, I'd like to see if you're really so heartless as to harm me in front of Yanzi!"

  Many

  powerful figures were clearly surprised to hear such a century-old gossip at an auction.

  However, while this gossip was interesting, the news about the Bodhi Ancient Tree was clearly more of a concern.

  "Old Man Baoshan, just tell me the value of this Bodhi Ancient Tree!"

  The voices of the powerful figures in the hall rose and fell, clearly showing their great enthusiasm for the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

  "Hehe, this information will not be charged a single gold coin!"

  "The Bodhi Ancient Tree, it is about to appear in the Desolate Ancient Domain!"

  As soon as the words fell, regardless of the host's shock, Old Man Baoshan retreated to the background. He too needed to prepare for the impending appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

  Dou Sheng realm—perhaps he still had a sliver of hope!

  "Senior Brother Lin Feng, the Bodhi Tree has truly appeared!"

  Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng with a hint of shock, clearly surprised that he knew of the Bodhi Tree's appearance while in the Heavenly Tomb.

  "The Bodhi Tree is one of the most supreme treasures on the Dou Qi Continent, especially important for those below the Dou Sheng realm!"

  "The mere fact that it grants the ability to instantly become a saint is enough to attract all the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent. Junior Brother Xiao Yan, you must be prepared."

  "If you're lucky, you can also use this opportunity to reach the Dou Sheng realm in one fell swoop!"

  Many plans flashed through Lin Feng's mind. This journey to the Bodhi Tree was extremely important to him.

  Not only was the opportunity to instantly become a saint crucial, but what he valued most was the enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree.

  A hundred lifetimes of reincarnation—if he could cultivate for a hundred lifetimes and become a Dou Sheng, it would be the most basic achievement.

  More importantly, he could use this to cultivate five elemental techniques, and his many secret techniques could also be perfected through this.

  "Little Yan, Lin Feng is right. Even if he reaches the advanced half-saint realm and enters the Desolate Ancient Domain, he can't be careless!"

  "With your level, it's even more dangerous!"

  Just then, Yao Lao's voice came from the side, his expression somewhat solemn.

  Xiao Yan didn't refute. The Desolate Ancient Domain was the most barbaric place on the Dou Qi Continent, filled with numerous poisonous miasmas.

  Sometimes, you could even inhale those terrifying poisonous insects with your breath.

  However, the resources there were also extremely rich. When Lin Feng first arrived in Zhongzhou, he traded with the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

  The headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance was located in the Desolate Ancient Domain. After Lin Feng refined an eighth-grade nine-colored pill in front of everyone at the Pill Gathering,

  the leaders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance personally declared that as long as Lin Feng achieved half-saint status, the Loose Cultivator Alliance would be willing to fully support his pill consumption.

  The only request was that after he became a ninth-grade treasure pill master, he would refine a few ninth-grade pills for the leaders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

  This shows just how abundant the resources contained in that desolate ancient domain are.

  "Further words are useless, Elder Yao, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, let's go back and prepare, and meet again in the desolate ancient domain!"

  "That's fine!"

  After splitting up, Lin Feng, along with Cai Lin and the others, didn't immediately return to Dragon Island or Saint Pill City. Instead, they stopped at a certain precipitous mountain peak, seemingly waiting for someone.

  Not long after, the sound of something breaking through the air came, but it wasn't the group Lin Feng was waiting for; instead, it was Xiao Yan and his disciples, who had only been separated for a short time.

  "Senior Brother Lin Feng, what's going on?"

  Xiao Yan's face showed some surprise. He had come here because several of his teacher's former enemies had appeared at the trade fair. What was Lin Feng doing here?

  Lin Feng didn't answer, but simply gestured for Xiao Yan to wait a moment. Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, several figures appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

  "The Cloud Rain Sect, the Three Scorpion Demons, have finally appeared?"

  A hint of surprise returned to Xiao Yan's face. "Could it be that Senior Brother Lin Feng also has a grudge against these Three Scorpion Demons?"

  "Hehehe, Yao Chen, I didn't expect you old codger to still be alive!"

  The eldest of the Three Scorpion Demons, Heavenly Scorpion, was clearly surprised. His arrogant and lewd gaze swept over them, landing on Rainbow Scale Little Fairy Doctor beside Lin Feng.

  "Hehehe, Yao Chen, you truly are my dear friend. After so many years, you bring me several such beautiful women."

  "Perfect, one for each of us three brothers. We will certainly remember your kindness and will definitely have a good time playing with them at your grave."

  "Hehehe..."

  The three scorpion demons all lingered their lewd gazes on Cai Lin and the others.

  Especially Cai Lin and Qing Lin, their alluring figures and the snake woman's charm ignited a burning lust within them.   

  He desperately wanted to seize these beautiful women on the spot and ravage their delicate bodies.

  "You lewd bastards, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!"

  "Sister Cailin, seize them and let them suffer the agony of being devoured by ten thousand snakes!"

  "And all those poisons! We must use pills to keep their worthless lives alive. We can't let these beasts go so easily!"

  Even the usually serene Little Fairy Doctor was now filled with rage, a terrifying ball of poisonous flame rising from her palm.

  Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, master and disciple, felt their scalps tingle. They exchanged a glance and unconsciously lowered their guard.

  Because the three women's auras were now fully released, far exceeding their expectations; they had completely entered the seventh or eighth level of the Dou Zun realm.

  Even more terrifying was Qinglin, the little girl who was releasing a charming and alluring aura. A flash of emerald green appeared in her eyes, and two tall figures appeared behind her.

  "A Battle Saint!"

  As a being close to a Half-Saint, Scorpion immediately sensed it, his entire body trembling instantly, his previous arrogance vanishing.

  "Qinglin, leave their storage rings!"

  Lin Feng said this to the furious Cailin and the others; the lives of the three Scorpion Demons were already sealed the moment they insulted Cailin and the others.

  "Roar!" Qinglin nodded

  , her face icy as she looked at the three Scorpion Demons, her eyes flashing with emerald flower patterns.

  The Nine Netherworld Python, a Battle Saint level being, transformed into its true form, its massive body, thousands of feet long, instantly suppressing the surrounding void, even causing the energy of heaven and earth to solidify.

  "My lord, spare us, my lord!"

  The three Scorpion Demons had no courage to resist; a Battle Saint could turn them to ashes in an instant.

  Qinglin's years of training in the Heavenly Serpent Palace since leaving Lin Feng were no joke. Before they could continue begging for mercy, the two enormous Nine Netherworld Pythons swallowed them whole.

  She planned to prepare them properly later.

  "Brother Lin Feng, these are their storage rings!"

  However, when facing Lin Feng, Qing Lin reverted to her girl-next-door demeanor, causing Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, the master and disciple, to twitch at the corners of their mouths.

  Taking out the cultivation technique of the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts from the storage ring, the words "Yin Yang Harmony Technique" came into view, just as Lin Feng had expected.

  "Absorbing Yin to replenish Yang? Such a divine technique, these guys have actually mastered it!"

  After glancing at the contents of the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique," Lin Feng felt he had gained a great deal, not in that aspect.

  As a transmigrator, he naturally knew about the powerful attributes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. The alternation of Yin and Yang, and the mutual generation and restraint among the Five Elements, all followed similar principles.

  Long ago, he had guessed that since the Five Elements Sect's inheritance could no longer be found, if he could find cultivation techniques and fighting skills related to Yin and Yang, it might bring some inspiration for the emergence of Five Elements techniques.

  But Yao Chen, that old fellow, misunderstood something when looking at the cultivation technique in Lin Feng's hand.

  "Lin Feng, kid, don't go astray!"

  Reminded of this, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin's gazes towards Lin Feng became somewhat strange.

  Among them, Cai Lin and the others even blushed slightly; if there weren't outsiders present, they probably would have squeezed Lin Feng dry.

  "Ahem, Lin Feng, I suddenly remembered that the Starfall Pavilion has matters awaiting my attention, so I'll take my leave!"

  Seeing the situation was amiss, Yao Chen, the old fox, grabbed the still somewhat dazed Xiao Yan, tore open a spatial rift, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

  Cai Lin and the others looked at the gradually calming space before them, a hint of joy in their eyes. They exchanged a glance and subtly surrounded Lin Feng.

  Half a month later, somewhere in the Space Trade Fair, in a man-made cave dwelling, Lin Feng and his companions finally saw the sunlight after a long time.

  "Judging by the time, the Bodhi Tree is about to be born. We can't continue this absurdity!"

  Behind him, the faces of the Rainbow Scale and Azure Scale Little Fairy Doctor were both flushed and incredibly beautiful. They exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

  The Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts' cultivation techniques were indeed quite good. If it weren't for the imminent birth of the Bodhi Tree, they would never have let Lin Feng go so easily.

  "This dual cultivation method is indeed a great path. In just half a month, you have all reached the peak of the Transformation Realm!"

  Lin Feng sensed the auras of the group and was somewhat impressed.

  "As long as we use the Bodhi Seed and ask the Ancestor to refine a few Grade 9 Bodhi Pills, we can definitely surpass the Half-Saint Realm in one fell swoop!"

  "Yes, this dual cultivation method must be reviewed often, so as not to become rusty!"

  Rainbow Scale seemed to have awakened something strange and familiar. Her eyes shone slightly, causing Lin Feng's body, comparable to a Half-Saint Demon Beast, to tremble slightly.

  What's even more infuriating is that Qinglin and Xiaoyixian, who have always stood by his side, nodded firmly despite their slight embarrassment.

  "Alas, people's hearts are truly corrupt!"

  Seeing Lin Feng's pretentious act, Cailin and the others instantly appeared on either side of him, forcefully pressing him to the ground.

  "Two-faced, let Queen Medusa punish you severely!"

  Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng had no choice but to lead the group deeper into the desolate ancient domain with immense willpower.

  However, although this dual cultivation method is harmful, it has had a rather good effect on him. His Dou Qi, which had become unstable due to his rapid advancement to the advanced half-saint level, has been completely stabilized after passing through the Void Thunder Pool and dual cultivation.

  As Lin Feng advanced towards the desolate ancient domain, the Central Continent was also in an uproar.

  The Bodhi Ancient Tree, instantly becoming a saint!

  No one could resist such an opportunity. Countless forces across the Central Continent, possessing half-saint and transformed Dou Zun levels, all sent forces to explore this ancient land.

  Even some old monsters nearing the end of their lifespans personally came to the bridgehead of the Desolate Ancient Domain, Desolate Town, and secretly formed an alliance.

  These old monsters had a different idea!

  Having lived for countless years, they had a clear understanding of themselves; the Bodhi Ancient Tree was not an opportunity they could covet.

  However, those prodigies who came to the Desolate Ancient Domain seeking the opportunity to become saints possessed exceptional talent, and they could capture them and refine them into pills!

  In this way, they could prolong their lives, and perhaps even advance further!

  The emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree also attracted the attention of the super overlords of the Dou Qi Continent, many imperial clans.

  They all sent their young prodigies to the Desolate Ancient Domain, intending to obtain the opportunity to instantly become saints.

  However, many top experts from the imperial clans were secretly plotting something unknown.

  Lin Feng had already been warned about this by Zhu Gong, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.

  "I wonder how much of a blow this time will deal to the Soul Clan?"

Chapter 301. Solution

  "Void, the Soul Palace has been destroyed by the Dragon Clan. You are still just one step away from the Soul Emperor Realm!"

  At the highest peak of the Soul Realm, the Soul Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. Since Xiao Xuan was killed by him, this was his favorite place to stay.

  Looking down at the vast mountains and rivers of the Soul Realm, he felt an invincible loneliness. He, the Soul Emperor, was born to experience this loneliness, just like his name, which carries the word "Emperor"!

  The Soul Emperor was born with the potential to become a Fighting Emperor!

  "Taking advantage of the emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, we must devour the Spirit Clan. This is the only way to advance to the Emperor Realm now!"

  The Void Devouring Flame that appeared here at this moment was not his true body, but his soul itself.

  After his soul power reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, it was extremely simple to create a soul clone.

  "Except for the four elders who still need to recuperate, you can command the four Demon Saints. Once your soul advances to the Emperor Realm, we will begin the final plan!"

  The Soul Emperor looked down at the battle in the endless mountains of the Soul Realm, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

  "I have a bad feeling!"

  Above the endless desolate mountains in the Stone Realm, several figures secretly gathered.

  "Will the Soul Clan really take this opportunity to make a move?"

  "With the Bodhi Ancient Tree emerging, the younger generation of all the imperial clans are seniors. Logically, our attention should naturally follow closely."

  "Such a good opportunity, if the Soul Emperor still wants to make a move, he certainly won't let it go!"

  "That makes sense!"

  "Everyone, the plan this time is to kill the Void Devouring Flame, or kill the four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan. Please don't linger in battle!"

  "Agreed!"

  After an unknown amount of time, the figures above the desolate mountains silently disappeared, leaving only the master of this place—the Stone Clan Chief, Shi Yan!

  "Soul Emperor, Void Devouring Flame, if you want to devour my clan, then come at me!"

  The Desolate Ancient Domain, the oldest region on the Dou Qi Continent, is full of opportunities, but also full of dangers.

  Many ancient races that have become extinct outside, and terrifying ancient beasts, may only still exist here.

  As news spread that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was about to emerge in this place, countless powerful figures arrived. Upon seeing the colossal tree that blotted out the sky, those hidden behind the scenes could no longer contain their excitement and secretly came to this place.

  In the Desolate Town, Lin Feng led Cai Lin and the others through the ancient town. Upon arrival, they killed several groups of desperate criminals.

  However, it was the beauty of Cai Lin and the others that attracted those old friends who had been living in seclusion for many years. Blind as dogs, they didn't need Lin Feng to make a move. The women's strength at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Dou Zun was almost enough to sweep the entire area.

  After several attacks, many reclusive old monsters realized that the group was not to be trifled with, and they also learned Lin Feng's true identity from others.

  For the next two days, no one dared to approach the territory where the group was located, until the arrival of the Pill Tower and others.

  "Elder Xuan, I didn't expect that you would come in person this time!"

  Looking at the Pill Tower's team, Lin Feng was also somewhat surprised. After all, Xuan Kongzi was a giant of the Pill Tower, and it was somewhat unexpected that he would risk coming.

  "Hahaha, Lin Feng, if you don't take this risk now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see your back in a few years!"

  Xuan Kongzi stroked his beard and laughed. Beside him were the two giants, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, as well as several old monsters from the Lesser Pill Towers.

  What surprised Lin Feng was that Old Monster Hou was not in the group. He should have been involved in such a lively event.

  "Old Monster Hou has recently been researching a new pill and has been in seclusion for half a year."

  Seemingly noticing Lin Feng's doubts, Xuan Kongzi took the initiative to say.

  "I didn't expect that Old Monster Hou would be in seclusion after the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared. When he comes out, he will be so annoyed, hahahaha."

  Yao Chen's voice came from afar. Without the threat of the Soul Palace, he naturally wanted to come in person to see just how magical this legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree was!

  "Old friend, you've come too!"

  Xuan Kongzi had just greeted them when the Flower Sect's group also appeared on the other side, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately became somewhat subtle.

  Xuan Yi and a certain elder of the Flower Sect exchanged a glance, then subtly looked away, causing Yao Chen to breathe a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

  "Everyone, this Desolate Ancient Domain is fraught with danger. Let's proceed together!"

  "Very well!"

  Faced with Xuan Kongzi's suggestion, the others agreed without hesitation, and Lin Feng also had no objections.

  Since the various forces had formed an alliance, they naturally had to advance and retreat together in this dangerous place.

  The next day, countless figures burst forth from the Desolate Ancient Domain, disappearing into the ancient trees ahead in the blink of an eye.

  Lin Feng and the others, however, were in no hurry to set off. Even with two half-saint level experts escorting them, they still needed to remain vigilant in the face of the oldest realm of the Dou Qi Continent.

  Half an hour later, only a few scattered individuals remained of the thousands of Dou Zong and Dou Zun level experts. Lin Feng and the others no longer hesitated and sped towards the hundred-zhang-tall ancient forest.

  With a whooshing sound,

  they sped through the most primitive and ancient forests on the Dou Qi Continent. Each ancient tree might have existed for thousands of years, reaching hundreds of feet in height.

  Even a Dou Zun-level magical beast revealing its true form would no longer appear majestic before such towering ancient trees!

  "Stop for a moment!"

  Just as everyone was rushing along, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly spoke, a hint of solemnity flashing across her serene face.

  "The air in this ancient mountain range is teeming with poisonous insects. If you inhale too much, reaching a certain amount, it will directly explode and become nourishment for this primeval forest!"

  Numerous streams of light shot out from Little Fairy Doctor's hands, and Netherworld Poisonous Fire rose from her body, devouring the tiny poisonous insects in the world with a terrifying devouring power.

  "This is a poison-avoiding pill I refined with Netherworld Poisonous Fire. After taking it, it can provide protection!"

  Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's Netherworld Poisonous Fire again, Xiao Yan was somewhat shocked to discover that the energy of this Netherworld Poisonous Fire was actually comparable to the peak of the Transcendent Dou Zun realm.

  You must understand, even after desperately taking drugs—no, cultivating—for over ten months after leaving the Heavenly Tomb, he had only advanced from the peak of the second-tier Dou Zun realm to the fourth-tier Dou Zun realm!

  "Truly, humans are no match for fire!"

  After consuming the antidote pills given by Little Fairy Doctor, everyone indeed felt somewhat relieved.

  As they continued their journey, they indeed saw numerous Dou Zong and even low-star Dou Zun corpses, lying in terrifying positions beneath the tall ancient trees.

  Its outstretched hands and ferocious eyes seemed to indicate a desperate struggle before death.

  The group glanced at it a few more times.

  To fall here was already a stroke of luck; if it ventured deeper into the forest and encountered the ancient, savage beasts, it would likely face an even more horrific end.   

  However, Little Fairy Doctor's smile never faded, and the flames rising around her grew even more intense.

  This place was simply her paradise. If she didn't have to travel with Lin Feng, she even felt that she could directly advance to the Half-Saint realm after devouring all these poisonous insects!

  With Little Fairy Doctor's poison-avoiding pills, the group no longer suppressed their speed and pressed on towards the depths of the forest. Only by crossing this ancient primeval forest could they reach the true Desolate Ancient Domain!

  After breaking out of the primeval forest shrouded in poisonous insects and miasma, a winding, endless mountain range appeared before their eyes, each peak seemingly hundreds or even thousands of feet high.

  "The journey ahead will likely be even more dangerous. You all must be careful not to stray beyond our sight!"

  Yao Chen said solemnly. His Heavenly Realm level soul perception told him that countless powerful auras lay ahead.

  In some areas, even he could perish if he wasn't careful!

  Lin Feng took out a somewhat withered Bodhi seed from his palm and carefully sensed it. The others around him were surprised to see that Lin Feng actually possessed the legendary Bodhi seed.

  "That kid Lin Feng always manages to snag the best benefits. Little Yan, you must keep a close eye on him!"

  "Following him, maybe we can get some Bodhi seeds too!"

  Xiao Yan nodded to himself. From the Jia Ma Empire to this Central Continent, and even facing Ancestor Xiao Xuan, Senior Brother Lin Feng had always managed to gain advantages.

  Facing this once-in-ten-thousand-years Bodhi Tree, the Bodhi seeds in Senior Brother Lin Feng's hand were proof that he had clearly done his homework!

  At this moment, he had to follow closely, because he desperately wanted to improve!

  "Elder Yao, I'll go first. You watch the rear. We'll fly forward!"

  Putting away the Bodhi seeds, Lin Feng gazed into the depths of the Endless Mountains, already sensing the general direction of the Bodhi Tree.

  "Alright!"

  Xuan Kongzi's expression was somewhat hesitant. The Desolate Ancient Domain was fraught with danger; such a reckless action was far too risky.

  "Elder Xuan, with two high-level half-saints keeping a close watch, there shouldn't be any major danger!"

  "We arrived too late; many powerful figures have already entered the deepest part. If we had arrived any later, we might not have even gotten a drop of soup!"

  Lin Feng released a slight aura, causing Xuan Kongzi's worried expression to dissipate. Danger in the Desolate Ancient Domain? What? Two high-level half-saints? That's fine then, let's charge!

  "Boom boom boom!"

  The group charged recklessly, and when they encountered any attackers, except for the serpentine demonic beast which was controlled by Qing Lin and swallowed into the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil space, all were sucked into blood mist by a single wisp of battle qi from Lin Feng.

  This scene utterly shocked the jaws of many powerful figures in this ancient mountain range!

  "Please, boss, this is the Desolate Ancient Domain! Can't you be a little more cautious?"

  No wonder many powerful figures complained; Lin Feng and his group's slaughter seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. The ferocious beasts of the Endless Mountains were not particularly intelligent to begin with.

  Under the increasingly dense influence of the bloody aura, it seemed to become even more violent, forcing countless passing powerful figures into battle.

  "It's a pity that only Xiao Tianzun remains of the Soul Palace now, otherwise, this place would be a treasure trove for the Soul Palace!"

  Lin Feng swept his soul power and immediately understood the cause and effect. Therefore, when passing by, he rescued those powerful figures who were at a disadvantage. He

  ignored their thanks, as if these rescued powerful figures would mostly perish in this desolate ancient domain if he did not return the way he came.

  "Interesting!"

  After traveling for about half an hour, Lin Feng had killed countless ancient ferocious beasts and had even become somewhat numb, with a few bloodshot veins appearing in his eyes.

  "Lin Feng, is there any situation ahead?"

  Seeing Lin Feng suddenly stop, Xuan Kongzi and the others behind him became wary. As a high-level half-saint, for Lin Feng to stop them, the place ahead must be extremely dangerous.

  "They're from the Heavenly Nether Sect, and it seems they've even colluded with the experts from Ice River Valley!"

  Lin Feng's tone trailed off, clearly uncertain, because two of the Ice River Valley experts possessed auras reaching the level of advanced half-saints.

  "Elder Xuan, how much do you know about Ice River Valley?"

  Lin Feng projected his soul perception into everyone's soul seas—a small technique he'd inherited from the Great Sage Guiyuan.

  "This is...?"

  Xuan Kongzi hesitated, seemingly unsure, upon sensing the figures in his mind.

  "It's the previous generation's Ice River Valley Master and the contemporary Supreme Elder!"

  Tian Leizi suddenly spoke up. This taciturn giant, since entering the Desolate Ancient Domain, had been reading every book in the Pill Tower to avoid falling behind Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi, as his talent was slightly inferior.

  "Hundreds of years ago, two prodigies emerged from Ice River Valley, reaching the Half-Saint realm at an astonishing speed!"

  "Unfortunately, the barrier between Half-Saint and Dou Sheng is far too strong. After decades of stagnation, they ventured to the far north of the Dou Qi Continent in search of a rare ice comparable to a strange fire!"

  "Judging from their appearance, they must have failed!"

  Lin Feng listened to Tian Lei Zi's explanation, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

  "That Ice River guy, because of Xian'er, had a conflict with me. Ice River was killed within the Soul Palace, though no one knows the truth."

  "However, such powerful individuals, with even the slightest suspicion, will act decisively."

  "Even if they are no match for me, with two high-level Half-Saints lurking in the shadows, harboring ill intentions, I can't sleep peacefully!"

  In an instant, Lin Feng made a decision: to kill the people of Ice River Valley within this desolate ancient domain!

  "Qinglin."

  "Everyone, since there are people from Ice River Valley ahead, let's take another route to save time!"

  Lin Feng then used the excuse of needing a temporary rest to switch places with Yao Lao, and Qinglin and the others followed him to the rear.

  "Very well!"

  Lin Feng's appearance hadn't escaped these old fellows' notice, but since he hadn't explicitly stated it, they didn't ask further.

  With Yao Lao leading the way, the group continued their rapid journey into the depths of the Endless Mountains, with Lin Feng and Qinglin lagging behind.

  Before leaving, a bright green flower pattern flashed in Qinglin's eyes, and two figures disappeared in a flash, heading off in a certain direction in the blink of an eye.

  A short while later, several cruel screams came from behind. The group paused slightly before continuing their race forward.

  "Brother Lin Feng, it's over!"

  Qinglin leaned against Lin Feng's chest, shook the several storage rings in her hand, and smiled smugly.

Chapter 302. Making a Move

  A terrifying Heavenly Demon Python, hundreds of feet long, roamed freely through the endless mountains. Ancient beasts along the way, fearing its aura, gave way.

  However, anyone who witnessed it would be shocked to find that the Heavenly Demon Python's usual ferocity and brutality had vanished, replaced by a somewhat dazed state.

  Within its enormous pupils, emerald green flower patterns slowly rotated, radiating a bewitching and devouring aura.

  Clearly, this overlord, one of the most powerful in the desolate ancient domain, had been controlled by Qing Lin.

  On its back, Lin Feng and his group stood steadily. Ahead, the outline of an ancient tree that blotted out the sky was gradually appearing. A

  burning desire gradually ignited in their eyes. The Bodhi Ancient Tree, the opportunity to become a Battle Saint—who would succeed?

  Seemingly sensing the desire of those on its back, the Heavenly Demon Python swung its hundreds-of-feet-long body, its tail instantly blasting apart a divine mountain hundreds of feet high.

  With a terrifying roar, it shot towards the ancient tree.

  Upon arriving at the Ancient Domain Platform, Qing Lin put away the Heavenly Demon Python. It wasn't out of fear of trouble; with several half-saint level experts in the group,

  Qing Lin also possessed two Nine Netherworld Pythons at the Dou Sheng level. It could be said that unless a super ferocious beast, comparable to a Dou Sheng level expert, was hidden deep within the Desolate Ancient Domain, Lin Feng's journey was virtually without danger.

  As for the Soul Clan's backup plan, hehe, Lin Feng had already made up his mind to kill this Soul Clan prodigy who had appeared in the Desolate Ancient Domain.

  This would reduce the Soul Clan's negligible strength by a tiny bit!

  "Hiss!"

  "Just now, wasn't that the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python?"

  "I just saw that terrifying ancient beast too. Its aura was comparable to the peak of a fifth-level Dou Zun. With its powerful physique, even a typical sixth-level Dou Zun would find it difficult to defeat." "

  I just saw a pattern resembling a green flower in the eyes of that enormous Ancient Heavenly Demon Python. Could it be that the legendary end of the snake race, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eye, has reappeared?"

  "Hiss!"

  On the plaza of the Ancient Domain Platform, many powerful figures gasped in shock. The terrifying energy storm even caused the Bodhi Ancient Tree, capable of supporting a Battle Emperor, to sway, causing some Bodhi leaves to fall.

  "Your Highness, this child is terrifying beyond measure and must not be allowed to live!"

  In a corner of the plaza, Hun Yu, who appeared somewhat gentle and refined amidst a group of people, seemed oblivious to the voices of his subordinates and continued to converse with a powerful figure from a hidden force.

  "No need to rush the Soul Pills. Prepare the Spirit Blossoms to attract the beast tide. They'll naturally die in the beast tide soon."

  "No one will know, not even the Ancient Void Dragon will say anything!"

  "Brother Lin Feng, it's been a year since we last met. Your aura seems even stronger?"

  Gu Qingyang and Gu Xun'er's group greeted Lin Feng and his companions with smiles.

  Not far away, the Yan Clan and other imperial clans also subtly glanced at this place. Clearly, these young geniuses of the imperial clans had received some news.

  Although not clear, they knew that the Soul Clan seemed to have suddenly become the common enemy of everyone.

  "Hahaha, I can't compare to your progress!"

  Lin Feng smiled slightly. Knowing everything about the plan, he was quite polite to Gu Qingyang.

  Moreover, he was speaking the truth. Since emerging from the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Qingyang's cultivation level had advanced rapidly, and he was already faintly about to enter the Half-Saint realm.

  "It seems I put too much pressure on this arrogant ancient clan, forcing them to pay a heavy price."

  "While preserving their foundation, I rapidly increased the strength of these major commanders!"

  If Gu Qingyang and the others knew Lin Feng's inner thoughts, they would surely smile bitterly; they never wanted to experience that cruel torture again.

  Among them, perhaps only the freakish Gu Yao would feel joy at this method of improvement!

  Sure enough, the moment Gu Yao saw Xiao Yan, he was eager to try, secretly sending a telepathic message to Xiao Yan, arranging a time for their next sparring session.

  "Brother Xiao Yan, Senior Lin Feng, you must be careful of that black-clad man from the Soul Clan. Like me, he possesses the divine bloodline of the Soul Clan."

  "What's even more terrifying is that hidden beneath his gentle face is a ferocious nature like a jackal or leopard."

  "The Soul Clan's methods have always been the most mysterious among the major imperial clans. If we have the chance, we must kill this Soul Jade!"

  Gu Xun'er stood beside Xiao Yan, looking at the seemingly carefree Soul Jade with a hint of murderous intent on her face.

  Soul Jade seemed to sense something, paused slightly, looked in their direction, and smiled gently, seemingly completely unaware of the group's murderous intent.

  "Heh, this guy knows how to pretend. Today, I'll see if he can return to the Soul Realm alive!"

  Seeing that this guy was even better at pretending than him, Lin Feng gave him a half-smile, intending to seal off the space as soon as they entered the Bodhi Ancient Tree's area and capture him directly.

  Knowing his style, he certainly wouldn't give him much time to summon others!

  "Everyone, by now, those who haven't entered the Ancient Domain Platform have likely perished in the Endless Mountains. Let's begin our assault on the beast tide!"

  After waiting another half hour, Hun Yu's expression turned solemn as he led the Soul Clan members into the air, preparing for action.

  "It seems that Void Devouring Flame didn't inform the Soul Clan of my cultivation level."

  Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, watching Hun Yu assigning positions in mid-air, a glint of light in his eyes.

  "Indeed, a half-saint is nothing more than an ant in his eyes, clearly not worth a second glance."

  "Heh, it seems the Soul Clan's only trump cards this time are the spatial jade slip that can summon half-saints and the Soul Clan puppet controlled within the Bodhi Ancient Tree!"

  "Everyone, life and death are in our hands, let's begin the assault on the beast tide!"

  Hun Yu shouted, leading the Soul Clan members in the charge towards the seemingly endless beast tide.

  However, before the charge, he seemed to have scattered some points of light towards the rear of the group, which went unnoticed by the pressure of the beast tide.

  "So that's the smell, so that's what they're planning?"

  "Roar!"

  Countless figures, using Soul Jade and the others as spikes, instantly pierced through the seemingly endless horde of ferocious beasts.

  The stench of blood seemed to enrage these ancient, unintelligent beasts. Hundreds of feet tall figures filled the ground, suddenly roaring to the sky—a terrifying sound wave, the most horrifying sound in the world.

  Instantly, the violent roar caused the eardrums of some low-level Dou Zun to rupture, blood to flow from their seven orifices, and their life force to immediately decline.

  Soul Jade, however, ignored the struggles of these short-lived creatures, leading the Soul Clan forward at breakneck speed, while simultaneously scattering the incense.

  After the group passed, the ancient ferocious beast seemed to have completely lost its mind. Its eyes were bloodshot, and a terrifying murderous aura surrounded it, tearing apart any powerful figures who tried to advance.

  Even more so, influenced by the bloody slaughter, it began to kill each other.

  Anything that caught its eye had to be destroyed to quell its inner savagery!

  "Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

  Not only the ancient ferocious beasts, but even the powerful figures were bloodthirsty. The destruction of countless companions greatly spurred them on.

  "Rumble!"

  Lin Feng and his group rode on the back of the ancient Heavenly Demon Python, unleashing terrifying fighting techniques as if they didn't need battle qi. Aside from Hun Yu and his group acting as the vanguard, this was the route where they killed the most ferocious beasts.

  "Heavenly Flame!"

  From the direction of the Flame Clan, the clan's prodigies and elders formed hand seals, transforming into terrifying flames. Many ferocious beasts were burned to a crisp.

  Even the aroma of roasted meat gradually spread across the vast plain.

  "Destroy Heaven and Earth, Annihilate the World with Thunder!"

  "Boom boom boom!"   

  With a deafening roar, countless bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky above the vast plains, thick bolts of lightning charring many enormous ferocious beasts into charcoal.

  Clearly, such a roar came from Detective Lei Laohu, the Five Hundred Million Detective!

  "Stone Town Wilderness!"

  Within the Stone Clan's ranks, countless ferocious beasts that had surrounded them were suddenly torn apart, and towering stone figures hundreds of feet tall appeared, unleashing an unbridled aura of savagery.

  They fought against the most ancient ferocious beasts of the Dou Qi Continent, without any Dou Qi energy, relying entirely on their powerful physical strength.

  The brutal scene seemed to transport them back to the most ancient era of the Dou Qi Continent.

  Lin Feng, however, took a closer look at the Medicine Clan's methods. The approaching ferocious beasts, before they could even unleash their power, silently fell to the ground.

  Lin Feng's late-stage Golden Realm soul power clearly sensed that the chaotic beast souls of those ferocious beasts had been annihilated.

  "The Medicine Clan's mastery of soul power is not to be underestimated!"

  Lin Feng casually unleashed a streak of battle qi, pondering how to obtain the Medicine Clan's, especially the Medicine Emperor's, secret techniques regarding the soul.

  After a moment's thought, Lin Feng shook his head. "Fine, without the threat of extermination, these arrogant fellows probably won't hand over their lifeblood so easily."

  "I should first obtain the opportunity of the Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation, integrate the founder of the Pill Tower and the Dragon Clan's heritage, and then create my own cultivation method. That's the top priority."

  "Old Monster Li, you must obtain a Bodhi Seed and take good care of Yanzi when you get back!"

  "Ancient ferocious beasts, I'll fight you to the death!"

  "Boom!"

  The self-destruction of a Transcendent Realm Dou Zun was earth-shattering, its power almost comparable to a casual strike from a Half-Saint.

  Centered on Old Monster Hu, hundreds upon hundreds of demonic beasts within a radius were blasted into fragments. Even the ferocious beasts with their confused minds were stunned for a moment.

  Realizing what was happening, they charged even more ferociously at the numerous powerful figures, their massive forms crushing down.

  In the Desolate Ancient Domain, the oldest and most untamed region of the Dou Qi Continent, many ferocious beasts, perhaps due to a lack of interaction with the outside world, rarely took human form.

  Correspondingly, fighting techniques and secret arts that could utilize more of the energy of heaven and earth were extremely scarce.

  Therefore, the ferocious beasts cultivated their physical bodies to the extreme, like the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python, which built a Heavenly Demon Blood Pool for its offspring.

  The self-destruction of Old Monster Hu also stimulated the ferocity of many other old monsters. Realizing they were doomed, they all self-destructed, causing some chaos in the beast ranks.

  Seeing this, Hun Yu, standing ahead, paused slightly, a cold smile appearing on his lips unnoticed by anyone.

  "These fools! Now we don't even need the Beast-Disrupting Incense to eliminate a large number of competitors."

  "Unfortunately, these stupid beasts alone are not enough to kill those races."

  "Soul Pill, advance quickly, scatter the Beast-Disrupting Incense, and make these beasts rampage again to clean up more trash!"

  "Yes!"

  "Boom boom boom!"

  Intense fluctuations came from ahead. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scene that made their eyes widen in horror.

  The Soul Clan and others suddenly exerted their strength, instantly breaking through the beast tide. The beasts, having been tricked, relied on their diminished intelligence and were completely enraged.

  The roars of the beasts shattered the sky, and the massive claws, dozens of feet long, tore through the air, instantly crushing dozens of low-star Dou Zun powerhouses who didn't have time to react.

  "Senior Brother Lin Feng, these beasts seem to have no regard for their lives. Do you have any ideas?"

  On the back of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python, Xiao Yan unleashed a series of multicolored strange flames, burning a path in front of the Heavenly Demon Python.

  Some astute old monsters noticed that there were very few ferocious beasts behind the Heavenly Demon Python, all tacitly following behind.

  Lin Feng and his group were naturally not benevolent people; upon noticing this, they simply used their energy to toss the hundreds-of-foots-long demonic beast aside.

  After the Heavenly Demon Python passed, these ferocious beasts once again rushed forward, blocking the powerful figures behind.

  This action made the old monsters who had tried to slip through the cracks curse them for their lack of martial ethics!

  "Brother Lin, the Soul Clan seems to have resorted to underhanded tactics. If this continues, even we will exhaust our fighting spirit. We hope you can intervene and lead us to break through the beast tide!"

  Huo Xuan of the Flame Clan, along with several clansmen, climbed onto the back of the Heavenly Demon Python. Beside them, the geniuses of the Thunder Clan, Stone Clan, and Medicine Clan also came.

  Facing Lin Feng, who was at the Half-Saint realm, the group restrained their imperial arrogance, especially since they needed his help.

  "Hmm,"

  Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his soul power silently reaching towards the towering Bodhi Tree.

  "Are there still hundreds of miles to go? Elder Yao, what do you think?"

  In truth, with the strength of Lin Feng and Yao Chen, both high-level half-saints, they were already strong enough to tear through the beast tide and directly enter the Bodhi Tree's territory.

  However, how could the two of them open a path like that? Wouldn't that benefit the many powerful figures behind them?

  Moreover, there were some half-saints who were cunningly hiding in the ancient forest, with no intention of entering the Bodhi Tree's territory at all.

  Instead, they were preparing to ambush and kill anyone who was lucky enough to obtain a treasure.

  In the original story, if it weren't for the appearance of the imperial clan's powerful figures, the situation would probably be very different!

  "Someone has already broken through the beast tide, so we can't fall behind. Lin Feng, let's attack together!"

  Yao Chen's soul perception was also not weak, and he had already discovered that Hun Yu and the others were about to break through the beast tide and enter that emerald green world.

  "Extreme Cold Fire!"

  He suddenly soared into the air, pale flames pouring out from his body and showering the ferocious beasts ahead. The hundreds-of-feet-long beasts were instantly turned into ice sculptures.

  Clearly, although he had given the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to Xiao Yan, he had still retained a small portion of it.

  "Hahaha, Elder Yao, let me show you my skills!"

  Seeing Yao Chen unleash his power, instantly freezing countless ferocious beasts ahead, Lin Feng was eager to try his hand.

  "Azure Lotus Annihilation!"

  A green flame spewed from his mouth, instantly expanding to nearly a thousand feet in size.

  The enormous azure lotus emitted terrifyingly high temperatures, seemingly capable of incinerating everything in its path. After Lin Feng reached the pinnacle of the Advanced Half-Life Realm, he turned his attention to studying alchemy and enhancing the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

  At this moment, even without relying on Lin Feng's Dou Qi, it was enough to threaten a peak Transcendent Realm expert!

  "Everyone, prepare to advance!"

  The enormous fiery azure lotus rampaged through the air, instantly incinerating the ice sculptures before it. Any ferocious beasts that dared to charge were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

  The ancient demonic python seized the opportunity, its massive body soaring into the air and rapidly advancing towards the Bodhi tree.

  Behind it, a dense multitude of powerful figures also took advantage of the situation, dodging the oncoming beasts and closely following.
