Chapter 149: Battle
After finishing his meal, Lin Feng returned to his residence, as he had something very important to do. He needed the Blood Devouring Cauldron to consume the Essence Blood of powerful beings. To be safe, Lin Feng asked Lin Miaomiao to help protect him and conceal the flow of Vital Energy.
Lin Feng first poured the Essence Blood of a Peak Expert of the Destiny Realm into the Blood Devouring Cauldron. The cauldron immediately began to hum and shake violently. Soon, the sounds of numerous ferocious beasts echoed from within, as if a ruthless villain had intruded, causing these beasts to panic.
A thick, blood-red aura emanated from the Blood Devouring Cauldron. Then, the spirit of the deceased Fate Realization expert appeared, revealing a fierce expression as it angrily stared at Lin Feng. It thrashed wildly, trying to break free. In the end, it was devoured by the Blood Devouring Cauldron, leaving a human-shaped image etched on its wall.
The second batch of Essence Blood from a peak Fate Realization expert was poured in, causing another violent reaction. Once the Essence Blood from the Fate Realization Walker was exhausted, Lin Feng began to use the Essence Blood from Foundation Realm Walkers.
When the Essence Blood from an Enlightenment Realm Walker fell into the Blood Devouring Cauldron, a tremendous roar erupted, directly breaking through Lin Miaomiao's defenses and shattering the roof, shooting into the void above.
Lin Feng's expression turned grave; if this continued, it would surely attract attention. He looked at Lin Miaomiao and asked, "Miaomiao, are you hurt?"
That previous impact had indeed breached Lin Miaomiao's defenses and caused her some injury. However, Earth Qi surged forth automatically to heal her wounds, so it wasn't serious.
Lin Miaomiao gazed into the void and asked, "Lin Feng, can you cover up this red light?"
Lin Feng shook his head as he looked at the blood-red pillar standing in midair. "I didn't expect that the Essence Blood of an Enlightenment Realm expert would be so domineering; it's beyond my capabilities."
"Is there no way to contain it?" Lin Miaomiao inquired. She understood that this matter could not be delayed.
"That's not possible either," Lin Feng replied with a serious expression.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Miaomiao said, "I have a way to block the red light from bursting out of the courtyard. You need to find a way to make this cauldron absorb the Essence Blood quickly. I don't know how long I can hold it."
"Miaomiao, you mustn't take risks." Although he didn't know what she intended to do, Lin Feng immediately refused.
"Everything is fine."
Lin Miaomiao finished speaking and gracefully ascended into the air. As she flew, the Purple Jade Glass Skirt enveloped her. She dove directly into the broken roof, perfectly sealing the opening.
The power of Essence Blood was incredibly domineering, continuously battering against Lin Miaomiao, who blocked the gap. At that moment, the Purple Jade Glass Skirt radiated a dazzling and gentle spectrum of colors.
These lights contained immense defensive power, completely repelling the impact of Essence Blood. Lin Miaomiao felt more than capable of handling it. What was even more remarkable was that while ordinary Xuanjia armor or defensive treasures could withstand the might of Divine Ability, they could not prevent the transmission of force.
Thus, even if Lin Miaomiao could resist the impact of Essence Blood, she would still be unable to endure the backlash of its force. Yet, the Purple Jade Glass Skirt managed to isolate even the transmission of force.
"This Holy Armor is truly unparalleled. No wonder Lady Joy has repeatedly sent people to kill and seize it."
Lin Feng and Lin Miaomiao both gazed at the Holy Armor in awe of its supreme power. Lin Feng thought to himself that if either he or Lin Miaomiao wore this Holy Armor into battle, they would undoubtedly defeat everyone and claim first place at the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference.
However, they only entertained such thoughts. If the Holy Armor were to reveal itself, who knew how many powerful practitioners from Gaojing would come hunting for them?
"Lin Feng, hurry and have the Blood Devouring Cauldron absorb the power of Essence Blood. We must act quickly to avoid drawing attention," Lin Miaomiao urged.
"Understood."
The Blood Devouring Cauldron eagerly absorbed the power of Essence Blood. Lin Feng did not waste any time either; after gathering numerous fierce beasts' Essence Blood, he proceeded to bathe in it.
Magenta quietly observed Lin Feng's method of cultivation, finding it somewhat terrifying and eerie. If not for her familiarity with Lin Feng and Lin Miaomiao, she would have undoubtedly labeled his practice as Demonic Path.
Little did she know that true Demonic Path was far more sinister than Lin Feng's calm Medicinal Bath; it involved actual consumption and refinement, something far more horrifying and chilling.
In the realm of demonic cultivation, practitioners pursue their goals by any means necessary, disregarding the methods of cultivation as long as they can grow stronger. This reckless approach allows them to cultivate at a pace far exceeding that of conventional methods. However, with great power comes great risk; the dangers of following the Demonic Path are numerous, and a single misstep can lead to death from going astray.
Few in this world can endure the Medicinal Bath like Lin Feng. If anyone else attempted to replicate his method, they would undoubtedly perish.
Lin Feng endured immense pain during his Medicinal Bath. As his cultivation progressed, he absorbed the essence of Chaos Stones at an accelerated rate, significantly protecting his body from fatal consequences.
Once the Medicinal Bath was complete, Magenta prepared bathing water for Lin Feng. Although she had reservations about his cultivation methods, she still felt a sense of warmth and joy towards him.
Lin Miaomiao promptly stowed away her Purple Jade Glass Skirt and entered a meditative state to recover herself.
The Martial Examination was set to commence in the afternoon as scheduled.
Jiang Rufeng, as the eldest disciple of the Fire Departure Sect, bore the hopes of many within the sect. He was also the only remaining disciple of the Fire Departure Sect at that time.
"As long as I defeat Lin Feng, I will secure a place among the top eight in the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference. If luck is on my side and I encounter a weaker opponent next, I could even reach the top four, breaking the long-standing record of my Fire Departure Sect and becoming the first young disciple in thousands of years."
"Lin Feng, mid-stage Fate Realization. This dark horse can only fall before me, Jiang Rufeng."
With this confidence and pride, Jiang Rufeng stepped into the Arena, where Lin Feng also arrived.
Jiang Rufeng looked at Lin Feng and said calmly, "Brother Lin, it is an honor."
Lin Feng's expression was icy; he completely ignored Jiang Rufeng's greeting. How could he forget the years spent on the borders of Yang Prefecture? The Fire Departure Sect had orchestrated multiple attempts on his life and nearly caused both him and Tang Jiner to perish.
In Jiang Rufeng's eyes, Lin Feng's indifference was a sign of contempt. A surge of anger began to burn within him as he quietly awaited the start of the match.
"Let the match begin."
Boom...
As soon as the match started, Jiang Rufeng couldn't wait to make his move. The Void shimmered, and fiery Vital Energy flowed like rippling waves, accompanied by the sound of trickling water. Suddenly, with a loud crash, a massive red fist, as big as a bull, appeared out of nowhere and struck Lin Feng.
"Fire Fist of Separation."
Jiang Rufeng's attack was infused with the unique essence of the Fire Departure Sect.
It is said that many years ago, the Fire Ancestor passed by Solitary Mountain and discovered a mountain range that nurtured the Blazing Fire. The Fire Ancestor cultivated here and established the Fire Departure Sect.
Disciples of the Fire Departure Sect practiced according to its special methods, harnessing the power of Blazing Fire to cultivate themselves and showcase various Divine Techniques.
"I know your fists are powerful, and your close combat tactics are unmatched. Today, I will fight you with my fists."
Lin Feng said nothing and charged forward with his fists raised.
Boom boom boom...
Lin Feng's fists struck against the fiery bull-sized fist, unleashing hundreds of punches in an instant. As the massive fiery fist shattered, Lin Feng came to a halt.
"You're indeed quite impressive, but what gives you the right to look down on me?" Jiang Rufeng shouted angrily.
Lin Feng's cultivation was not on par with Jiang Rufeng's; he relied on his terrifying physical strength to make up for it. Jiang Rufeng was the first person who could truly measure up to him in a contest of fists.
"Lin Feng, let me show you what true strength is."
Jiang Rufeng struck again, charging directly at Lin Feng. Instead of retreating, Lin Feng advanced.
Jiang Rufeng was the eldest disciple of the Fire Departure Sect, and this journey carried the hopes of the Fire Master. The Fire Master had specifically infused a strand of Blazing Fire into Jiang Rufeng's body using Mo's Divine Power.
As a result, Jiang Rufeng's physical attacks were enhanced as if he wielded a magical artifact. The mysteries of Blazing Fire surpassed that of a Ninth-Grade Treasure. If there were more Blazing Fire at his disposal, Jiang Rufeng would be akin to a warrior clad in Golden Armor.
In contrast, Lin Feng relied solely on his own physical prowess to fight.
The two engaged in close combat, their movements intertwining as they exchanged rapid blows that echoed with the sound of fists colliding. Their punches were swift, dazzling to behold.
Jiang Rufeng initially intended to leverage the power of Blazing Fire to defeat Lin Feng in his area of expertise, hoping to demonstrate his superiority. However, he began to feel astonished by Lin Feng's strength.
"His physical body is indeed as terrifying as the rumors suggest; it likely surpasses the limits of a Walker. Even with the enhancement of Blazing Fire, I find myself unable to gain the upper hand in physical combat; it's merely a stalemate. But your greatest strength is still only this; to defeat me, you are far from enough."
After a brief period of battle, Jiang Rufeng began to show signs of fatigue in close quarters while Lin Feng grew more invigorated with each exchange. Jiang Rufeng found himself increasingly pressured; without the power of Blazing Fire, he would end up like a War Maniac facing inevitable defeat.
"This won't do."
Jiang Rufeng decided not to continue trading blows with Lin Feng, realizing he couldn't match him. He concentrated his energy into Blazing Fire for a powerful strike that pushed Lin Feng back and quickly retreated to maintain distance.
"Brother Lin, your physical combat skills are indeed unparalleled. I admit I am not your match," Jiang Rufeng said earnestly.
Lin Feng regarded Jiang Rufeng and found him acceptable. If it weren't for his connection to the Fire Departure Sect, perhaps they could have exchanged a few words. Thus, Lin Feng chose not to pursue him relentlessly, allowing him to escape.
"Brother Lin, it's time. I will showcase my school's Divine Technique and no longer engage in a physical battle with you."
With that, Jiang Rufeng began to form hand seals, and the Vital Energy within him surged wildly.
"Fire Dragon Technique."
As Jiang Rufeng executed the technique, the Vital Energy flowed out of his body and coalesced into a massive fire dragon. The dragon towered several dozen feet high, standing proudly and looking down at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng focused his mind, sensing the immense power contained within the fire dragon. If he had attempted to withstand the might of the fire dragon earlier, he would have struggled to extinguish it.
Without the Golden Armor, it would be very difficult.
Now, with his swordsmanship perfected and his cultivation reaching a new level, his Metallic Spiritual Root was fully developed. He possessed the strength to stand toe-to-toe with a peak Fate Realization Walker.
This was also why Lin Feng had not pursued Jiang Rufeng with full force and engaged him in a physical confrontation. (To be continued...)
