Chapter 640: Chapter 639: Divine Thunder Opening the Heavens
Just as Qin Feng began his secluded cultivation, three figures silently appeared on a small hillock a hundred miles outside Yunhu City.
Their auras were restrained, but a thunderous glint brewed within their eyes.
Their thoughts could manifest as thunderbolts.
All three of them were Martial Artists at or above the Martial Arts Great Power Level.
"Is this the place?"
One of them gazed toward Yunhu City.
"This is the place. According to the Yi Master’s deductions, he will most likely return to Yunhu City to break through to the Nirvana Realm. This area is suppressed by a seventh-level, Grandmaster Level Array. Ordinary people can’t get anywhere near his place of seclusion!"
"He can control a seventh-level Array?" The other person gasped.
The Great Power who had spoken first replied with a grave expression, "According to our intelligence, he can indeed control this seventh-level Array. He even used it to repel an assassination attempt by two Great Powers from the Sea Race!"
"He’s that terrifying? No wonder that one can’t tolerate him. The Holy Temple can’t tolerate him. And even the Qiankun Sect wants him dead!"
The three of them exchanged a glance, bone-chilling killing intent in their eyes.
If a genius like this is allowed to mature, he will become a pillar of the Star Sect.
Kill him!
He must be eliminated!
The last Great Power spoke. "That’s why that one went to such great lengths to ask us to intervene!"
"But we must be careful. This kid is one of the Star Sect’s True Inheritance disciples. Every one of them is blessed with great Qi Fortune and is incredibly difficult to kill. We must land a decisive, thunderous blow and kill him completely before he even has time to react!"
The killing intent in the eyes of the other two Great Powers was as sharp as a blade.
...
When breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, the step of Heaven and Earth Creation is actually something many Martial Arts Strongmen can accomplish. The greatest trial is overcoming the backlash from the Void.
At that time, the creator’s Primordial Qi is severely depleted, making it their most vulnerable and dangerous moment.
That was not all. Performing Heaven and Earth Creation within the Endless Void could easily attract attacks from the Void Fierce Beasts that roamed its expanse.
Those Void Fierce Beasts had always considered these newly opened Grotto Heavens to be delicious delicacies, and they would flock over at the slightest hint of one.
Furthermore, the most terrifying part was that the commotion from Heaven and Earth Creation was so immense it could also attract other enemies.
If an enemy were to launch a sneak attack at that moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Feng’s choice of Yunhu City as the place for his breakthrough was made with these factors in mind.
Calming his mind and spirit, Qin Feng began to adjust his Cultivation. During this period, hidden injuries and imperfections were mended, bit by bit.
His essence, qi, and spirit gradually rose to their absolute peak.
「Three days later」
Within the bewildering mist, Qin Feng’s figure was enveloped in a ball of brilliant silver light, shining like a star.
RIP!
He extended one hand like a sharp blade and tore open the Void. With a flicker, his figure vanished from within the bewildering mist.
Hundreds of miles away, one of the three Martial Dao Great Powers opened his eyes. "He’s started!"
"Just as predicted, he has entered the Endless Void. Heh heh, it’s a good thing that one lent us the Void Gazing Treasure Mirror. With one of the great Ancient Treasures in hand, he can’t escape our sight, no matter where he hides!"
A bronze Treasure Mirror emitting a hazy, cyan glow appeared in his palm. Its surface rippled, and a vast expanse of the Void appeared within it.
’Someone seems to be spying on me?’
Within the eternal darkness of the Void, Qin Feng’s expression subtly shifted, but he remained outwardly calm.
His incredibly powerful Spiritual Sense had faintly detected a gaze watching his every move. He spread his Divine Thought in all directions but found no trace of it.
’It seems someone anticipated my breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm and is preparing to ambush me!’ Qin Feng mused, not at all surprised.
It was no secret that he had reached the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm and was about to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Anyone with some knowledge of the Yi Number could easily deduce it.
’Trying to ambush me? Heh heh!’
Sneering inwardly, Qin Feng glanced around at the depths of the ancient, dark Void, where countless motes of Void Essence Qi were coalescing into void storms.
There are many ways to achieve Heaven and Earth Creation; every sect has its own Secret Techniques. The Mixed Element Star Technique itself recorded several common methods.
However, among the thousands of Secret Techniques, two main schools of thought prevailed.
The first was to use absolute power to cleave open the Void, manifesting treasures like a Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, Heaven-Opening Divine Sword, Heaven-Opening Divine Thunder, Heaven-Opening Divine Saber, or Heaven-Opening Divine Mirror to sunder the firmament and give birth to the myriad things of Hongmeng.
The second method was akin to the World Tree: transforming the Origin one had comprehended into a World Seed. Like a ripe melon falling from its vine, it would take root and sprout in the Void, naturally giving birth to a new world.
Both methods had their pros and cons. The former was faster, but it consumed a great deal of Primordial Qi and was prone to accidents.
Many Martial Arts Strongmen at the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, after successfully creating their new world, would find themselves unable to resist the Void’s backlash due to their depleted Primordial Qi. Their bodies would merge with the Void, and they would vanish forever.
The latter method posed no risk of Primordial Qi depletion, but it took far too long. If Void Fierce Beasts or other enemies arrived during that time, the process could easily be interrupted, and the chance to advance would be lost forever!
Qin Feng chose the first method: Heaven and Earth Creation through absolute power.
Taking a slow, deep breath, arcs of lightning flashed in his eyes. He brought his hands together, and a five-colored thunderbolt erupted between his palms.
"Open!"
A five-colored thunderclap boomed through the Void. With a dull rumble, the space at the center shattered inch by inch, transforming into miniature scenes of the world’s dawn.
The Great Void Five Elements Annihilation True Thunder Technique!
This very technique contained the secret art of using Divine Thunder to create a world.
In his previous life, Qin Feng had used a Thunder Skill to perform Heaven and Earth Creation, so he was treading a familiar path.
With a flick of his wide sleeves, thousands of five-colored thunderbolts exploded throughout the Void, shattering vast swathes of space.
BOOM!
In the ancient darkness, countless thunderbolts echoed.
Wind, water, earth, and fire raged. Standing amidst the tempest of elements, his physical body enduring a baptism of tearing, Chaotic Primordial Qi, Qin Feng moved as if taking a leisurely stroll. Everywhere he went, vast fields of lightning erupted.
"This kid... he’s a monster!" GULP. Watching this scene from the hillock, the three Martial Dao Great Powers couldn’t help but swallow hard.
A single bolt from that vast field of Five Elements Divine Thunder could annihilate a Martial Arts Giant.
To unleash such a vast field of Five Elements Divine Thunder all at once was simply terrifying.
Just then, one of the Great Powers exclaimed, "Did you see that? His physical body is astonishingly strong! That chaotic power of earth, water, wind, and fire could easily shred a Martial Arts Giant. Even for Martial Dao Great Powers like us, entering it would be a huge problem, yet he’s withstanding it with his physical body alone! And he’s constantly devouring that rampaging Primordial Qi. His body is even more formidable than those Martial Dao Great Powers who follow an unorthodox path to prove their Dao!"
Another Great Power muttered, "Damn it, he’s a monster. The three of us might not be a match for him! Good thing we’re just the advance party. Two Supreme Great Powers are on their way!"
BOOM!
Countless Divine Thunders detonated, and the prototype of a small world, hundreds of miles across, had already taken shape.
Within the small world, however, earth, water, wind, and fire were muddled together, entwined with countless arcs of lightning. It was a hazy, indistinct blur.
Qin Feng gave it a glance, then suddenly spat out a stream of Innate Yin Yang Qi hundreds of yards long. The Innate Yin Yang Qi split into two, intertwined, and with a roar, transformed into two Flood Dragons. In a single breath, they devoured the countless motes of earth, water, wind, and fire primordial qi within the small world. The next moment, it was all transformed into pure, gentle clear and turbid qi.
The Sky Blue Primordial Qi floated upward, while the Earthly Muddy Primordial Qi sank downward.
A small world took shape as if reflected in water. However, this world was empty, its lands covered in yellow sand like a withered desert.
Qin Feng, however, was quite satisfied.
BOOM!
Just then, a tremendous tremor surged through the Void. A vortex-like tear opened, and an immeasurable amount of Void Essence Qi crashed down like an ocean tide.
CREAK... GROAN...
The entire small world teetered on the brink of collapse, threatening to be crushed back into Chaos at any moment.
The backlash from the Void had arrived!
