On the mountaintop, it was unclear whether it was the frost of autumn or an inexplicable thick fog.
The air was suffused with a scorching scent of molten magma, making it hard to breathe.
Lu Fei Fan quickly retreated, relying on his sword. His senses spread out like a spider's web, easily detecting Lian Chongtang's presence suddenly appearing to his left. The descending figure crashed down like a burning meteor, and Lu Fei Fan sprang away.
The splintering rocks ignited by the magma shot out like shrapnel, whistling through the air with a piercing cutting sound before crashing down around him.
Several of the flying stones, whether intentionally or accidentally aimed by Lian Chongtang, transformed into streaks of flowing fire that shot toward Lu Fei Fan. The Whale Devouring Sword in Lu Fei Fan's hand became a wall of impenetrable sword light. With loud bangs, the burning stones instantly turned to sparks and fell like ash.
But in the next moment, Lian Chongtang's figure came roaring back like a cannonball, his massive magma gauntlet unleashing a deadly wave of Pulse Energy as he threw a punch!
Boom!
Lu Fei Fan's body flipped through the air, his internal energy surging like turbulent rivers, threatening to overflow as the Pulse Energy threatened to erupt violently.
Just before Lu Fei Fan landed, his heart suddenly thudded like a drum. The ancient Pulse Breathing Technique activated instinctively within him, transforming the tumultuous rivers inside him into a vast lake, eventually morphing into an endless ocean.
Even the most turbulent Pulse Energy was now reduced to mere ripples in this expansive sea, unable to stir up even the slightest wave.
Lian Chongtang watched as Lu Fei Fan landed heavily, creating a deep crater in the ground before quickly stabilizing himself. Despite his solid stance and steady steps, his expression remained unchanged.
Moreover, a powerful and familiar aura circulated around him.
"Giant Whale's Breath." Lian Chongtang recognized it immediately. Years ago, while pursuing that severely injured Giant Whale with Bian Jian and Yang Laosan in the sea, he had witnessed this primal breathing technique unique to such creatures.
"Indeed." Lu Fei Fan straightened up without offering any excuses.
Lian Chongtang sneered slightly and remarked to Lu Fei Fan, "Back then, when we encountered that Giant Whale lord who had been gravely wounded in battle with other lords, we all thought it was a great opportunity. But our power was too insignificant; none of us had the ability to consume it."
“So you two have selfish motives,” Lu Fei Fan retorted coldly.
“In this world where strength reigns supreme, any great opportunity can allow someone to leap over the dragon gate overnight and achieve remarkable feats,” Lian Chongtang replied calmly.
Just as Lu Fei Fan was about to say something else, a faint red figure behind Lian Chongtang swung a blazing sword straight at Lu Fei Fan.
Clang!
Lu Fei Fan's Whale Devouring Sword clashed with the Fire Cloud Broad Sword, creating a dazzling display of white and red Pulse Energy that rippled outwards.
However, the sphere of lightning from the Whale Devouring Sword suddenly expanded, releasing an ancient aura like crashing waves. In an instant, the flames of the Fire Cloud Broad Sword were suppressed and extinguished with a sizzling sound.
Lian Qingzong took a step back, stabilizing himself beside Lian Chongtang, shocked to see his Fire Cloud Broad Sword snuffed out by that overwhelming ancient Pulse Energy. He could hardly believe it.
He swung the Fire Cloud Broad Sword again, reigniting its flames, and glared at Lu Fei Fan, clearly unwilling to let him go.
But then Lu Fei Fan made an unexpected move!
He sheathed the Whale Devouring Sword and suddenly turned to dash up the stairs.
Lian Qingzong was taken aback as well. Lian Chongtang sneered; this young man clearly had no shame. Knowing he was outmatched two to one, he cleverly chose to flee.
“Chase him,” Lian Chongtang commanded, his figure darting forward like a streak of blazing light before vanishing into the thick mist.
Lian Qingzong had no choice but to suppress his anger and pursue with the Fire Cloud Broad Sword in hand. He had hoped for a fierce battle with this enemy who had stolen his great opportunity, but now this fellow had turned tail and run, nearly making him spit blood in frustration.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lian Qingzong shot forward like a cannonball, sending countless fragments of stone flying from the ground.
The wind blew down from the mountain peak, carrying a chilling coolness.
Lu Fei Fan's hair whipped wildly as he sprinted up the stairs, his body hunched like a beast from the primal jungle.
Suddenly, a heavy punch, like a meteor, crashed down in rapid succession—boom, boom, boom—
The explosive molten rock and debris erupted behind him, bursting forth like vibrant mushroom clouds in midair, dazzling and deadly.
Lian Chongtang pursued closely behind, channeling his dense Pulse Energy into his gauntlets. The massive gloves radiated scorching Pulse Energy as they descended upon Lu Fei Fan, who was racing up the stairs. The overwhelming force scorched the air around him, dissipating much of the mist.
Lu Fei Fan's figure darted left and right on the stairs like an afterimage, narrowly avoiding the Great Indra Fist that slammed down beside him with the force of cannon fire.
He couldn't help but marvel inwardly; Lian Qingzong was indeed far more formidable than Bian Jian. The density of his Pulse Energy made it clear that facing him head-on would spell trouble.
Fortunately, Lu Fei Fan chose to withdraw in time, unwilling to engage in a prolonged struggle. Otherwise, he would ultimately be the one at a disadvantage. Moreover, Lian Qingzong had also joined in, evidently holding a grudge against him for inadvertently seizing the inheritance of the Tomb of the Giant Whale.
At that moment, Lian Qingzong was swiftly pursuing him up the stairs with his Fire Cloud Broad Sword drawn. His Pulse Energy was not as robust as that of his grandfather's, leaving him a few meters behind. Following closely were his father, Lian Shuzhou, several uncles, and other family members.
Behind the Lian Family, Dongfang Hui heard the sounds of battle erupting ahead and couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Lian Lao can't resist taking action against someone charging ahead; there must be something up at the summit that we don't know about," Dongfang Hui speculated. He then glanced at the masked Che. "You go ahead and check on the situation at the top."
Che nodded in understanding and disappeared from sight in an instant.
Dongfang Hui turned to look back at Dongfang Jun and instructed Soul Devouring Duo, "Make sure everyone keeps up!"
With that, he waved his Rain Cloak and leaped forward like a gust of wind, covering several meters in an instant. Dongfang Jun observed her sister's speed; her earlier pace had merely accommodated them. Now her speed truly reflected her capabilities.
However, once Dongfang Hui left, many in their group suddenly felt an invisible primal pressure—this was the pure ancient Pulse Energy in this area suppressing them as cultivators.
Meanwhile, Lu Fei Fan had no time to conserve his Pulse Energy. The surrounding Pulse Energy was so pure that it invigorated him immensely; he ran faster and faster. The Whale Devouring Pulse Technique within him absorbed the surrounding Pulse Energy like a whale swallowing its prey. The purity of this energy far surpassed that outside Bai Di Cheng. After battling Lian Chongtang earlier, he found himself recovering to about sixty or seventy percent of his strength while still sprinting to stimulate his own Pulse Energy.
Could this be the essence of the Whale Devouring Pulse Technique? Lu Fei Fan suddenly had an epiphany. He recalled how whales operate, breathing in and storing oxygen. With just one breath, a whale can dive underwater for half an hour to an hour, showcasing the astonishing amount of oxygen it can absorb.
Thus, the operation of the Whale Devouring Pulse Technique must also rely on absorption and storage. Lu Fei Fan saw three suns reigniting in his chaotic universe, along with a dozen twinkling stars. This was indicative of his understanding of Pulse Energy storage. He attempted to experience breathing; suddenly, his body cells inhaled the surrounding Pulse Energy as if they were breathing in. After a few brief cycles of inhalation and exhalation, pure Pulse Energy flowed into his body like a torrent of river water surging into his cells.
Sure enough, another star lit up.
Lu Fei Fan's strength surged to a new level. Behind him, Lian Chongtang and Lian Qingzong, who were closely pursuing him, were momentarily stunned. The aura emanating from this fellow was not weaker than before; rather, it gave the illusion of being even stronger.
Lian Chongtang raised a hand to stop Lian Qingzong and turned to wait for Lian Shuzhou and the others to catch up.
"Hand over the Teng She," Lian Chongtang said without looking back.
Lian Shuzhou was taken aback for a moment but quickly complied, hastily unstrapping his exquisite and ornate crossbow from behind and passing it to his father.
Lian Chongtang took hold of the intricately carved golden crossbow, its smooth lines and splendid craftsmanship clearly indicating that it was a masterpiece from a master artisan.
Especially striking was the bowstring, thin and transparent like fine silk; if one did not look closely, it seemed almost to blend with the air.
With a swift motion, Lian Chongtang's massive gauntlet unraveled. The fragments of the gauntlet transformed into a floating glove hovering beside him. He freed his hand from the gauntlet and quickly grasped the crossbow. Then, vibrant Pulse Energy surged from his hand into the crossbow named Teng She.
The golden crossbow's intricate patterns rapidly illuminated as its Pulse Energy array lit up sequentially. From the empty arrow slot of the crossbow, a brilliant arrow made entirely of pure Pulse Energy materialized—a blazing crimson projectile!
"Go!" Lian Chongtang pulled the trigger.
Whoosh!
The Crimson Energy Crossbow Bolt shot forth with a whistling sound, racing through the air like a meteor.
Even more astonishing was that after being released from the bowstring, what began as an ordinary Pulse Energy Arrow expanded into a formidable Teng She adorned with red Feathered Wings, soaring majestically through the air!
Lu Fei Fan, running at full speed, suddenly sensed something behind him. He turned around to see a creature darting towards him like a flying snake—Crimson Flow was closing in with lightning speed!
“Not good!” Lu Fei Fan exclaimed, a wave of danger surging through him, prompting the Whale Devouring Pulse Technique within him to accelerate.
His figure shot forward explosively!
However, that arrow-like creature, resembling a Teng She, relentlessly pursued him. Lu Fei Fan attempted to change direction to shake it off, but to his surprise, the creature had locked onto his aura with unwavering precision.
He turned to look and gasped!
A massive Crimson Winged serpent, with its Sharp Fangs bared, lunged at him!
“This is not good at all!” Lu Fei Fan thought frantically. He disregarded everything else as his Pulse Energy surged forth like a fountain, the pale blue light brilliantly dispersing the thick fog around him.
The Teng She's arrow struck the figure radiating dazzling Pulse Energy.
Boom!
