Chapter 652: Chapter 651: Advancing to Great Power (3)
The faces of the five paled.
They exchanged a look, knowing Qin Feng wouldn’t let them off so easily. Instantly, they turned and fled in five different directions.
’Can they really escape?’
Just moments ago, they had sworn to kill him and divide his spoils. Qin Feng had no intention of letting them get away.
With a flash, he tore through the Void, appearing before Leiyun True Monarch in the next instant.
His body and Grotto Heaven merged, transforming into an enormous Grotto Heaven that boomed as it swallowed Leiyun True Monarch, who had flown right into it!
Having refined a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven, Qin Feng could wield his Cave Heaven Power to its fullest. His mastery over Void Power reached its zenith, and here in the Endless Void, he was as elusive as a phantom.
Trapped within the Grotto Heaven, Leiyun True Monarch felt his own power uncontrollably dissipating, leaving him unable to mount any effective counterattack.
Even his Yin God Level Thunder Law ground to a halt.
"How can your Grotto Heaven be so powerful?" Leiyun True Monarch’s face was a mask of horror.
"Thunder-Breaking Realm Bracelet!"
A bolt of lightning shot from his palm, crashing into the Grotto Heaven’s vortex in an attempt to tear open a path and escape the prison.
"A mere Pseudo-True Artifact. Even a real True Artifact couldn’t hope to break through the power of my Medium-sized Grotto Heaven!" Qin Feng’s eyes glinted sharply. A vast torrent of Cave Heaven Power descended like a Celestial River, instantly shattering the Thunder-Breaking Realm Bracelet. It then enveloped Leiyun True Monarch, who could only watch in despair as he was utterly crushed and refined into pure essence to nourish the Grotto Heaven.
After killing two Great Powers in succession, Qin Feng could clearly feel his Grotto Heaven’s Origin growing stronger.
The Sea Demon Queen, however, felt the pressure on her intensify. She grit her teeth in frustration.
’I might have brought about a terrible disaster!’
After crushing and completely refining Leiyun True Monarch, Qin Feng’s figure flashed as he tore through the Void once more.
Black Wind True Monarch was a Supreme Great Power who excelled in the Wind Element Law, and her speed was incredible.
In the blink of an eye, she was hundreds of miles away.
But how could she possibly outrun Qin Feng, who had already begun to grasp the Void Law?
Four breaths later, a portal ripped through the Void. A swirling vortex of immense Cave Heaven Power enveloped the panicking Black Wind True Monarch, Ling Rou.
Deep within the Cave Heaven Power, she felt a terrifying force of annihilation trying to wipe her from existence.
"Black Wind Cave Heaven Power!" Ling Rou snarled, summoning her own Grotto Heaven. It was a hollow domain, filled with swirling, eternal gales.
All sorts of Exotic Winds swirled within—Samadhi Wind, Yin Fiend Wind, Iron-Blood Wind, Earth Evil Wind, and Primordial Magnetic Wind. The terrifying gales unleashed a world-destroying might.
A violent force slammed into the vortex of Qin Feng’s Grotto Heaven, actually managing to shake it and tear open a path.
’So it’s a Small Grotto Heaven of the Wind Element! How audacious!’ Qin Feng sneered inwardly as his Cave Heaven Power surged, coalescing into a colossal force.
An invisible Grotto Heaven was slowly being ripped from Black Wind True Monarch’s body, dragged toward the depths of Qin Feng’s own Grotto Heaven.
"You can actually devour my Grotto Heaven?" Black Wind True Monarch shrieked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"You served yourself up on a platter. If you hadn’t used your Cave Heaven Power, I might not have been able to pinpoint your Grotto Heaven’s location. You gave me this opportunity by deploying it so recklessly. You’re just asking to die!"
With a great laugh, Qin Feng’s violent Cave Heaven Power acted like a giant vortex, instantly ripping the Grotto Heaven from Black Wind True Monarch’s body and devouring it whole.
In that instant, Black Wind True Monarch was obliterated by the violent Cave Heaven Origin, not even having time to scream.
After devouring the Grotto Heaven, his own Cave Heaven Origin surged dramatically. The land within expanded by three hundred li, reaching a total diameter of one thousand five hundred li.
Violent tornadoes formed Celestial Pillars at the edges, holding up the sky, while a gentle breeze, Qingfeng, spread throughout the Grotto Heaven.
As his Cave Heaven Power strengthened, the Cave Heaven True Power inside Qin Feng surged. The nascent Void Law began to merge with his Cave Heaven True Power, inch by inch. Qin Feng forcibly suppressed his breakthrough into the Martial Arts Great Power Realm.
If he broke through now, it would immediately draw a terrifying Chaos Celestial Tribulation.
Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Mang Mountain Three Fierce, who had fled in the other three directions.
With a flash, he cut through the Void and gave chase.
An hour later, Qin Feng had hunted down and killed all of the Mang Mountain Three Fierce.
To his surprise, Qin Feng also obtained a True Artifact called the Asura Blood Soul Banner.
Relying on this True Artifact, Lao Xuepo, the leader of the Mang Mountain Three Fierce, had very nearly escaped.
This was the second True Artifact Qin Feng had obtained, and a Bloodline True Artifact at that.
’I’ll take this back for that little girl, Honglian. As the Bloody Queen, this True Artifact will be perfect for her!’
Qin Feng mused with some regret. He had wanted to devour the Grotto Heavens of the Mang Mountain Three Fierce, but they were too cunning. They would rather die than open them.
A Grotto Heaven was the foundation of a family or clan. To have a Grotto Heaven passed down was to possess the bedrock of a thousand-year-old lineage.
Qin Feng understood their reasoning. Their own deaths were acceptable, as long as their Grotto Heavens remained. At least that way, their entire legacy wouldn’t be wiped out.
They might have even arranged some means of resurrection within their Grotto Heavens.
’Next up is revenge,’ Qin Feng thought. ’I’ll get through one Chaos Great Tribulation, fully advance to a Martial Dao Great Power, and then find a way to sneak into the Cloud Lake Covering Palace and wipe out the entire Sea Demon Clan!’
He let out a cold laugh. ’They dared to come after me. If I don’t retaliate, people will think I, Qin Feng, am easy to bully!’
With a flash, Qin Feng appeared inside his Grotto Heaven. An altar materialized from the Void beneath his feet.
The Creation Altar!
This once simple Creation Altar, following the Grotto Heaven’s recent expansion, now radiated a mysterious and unfathomable aura. Its markings had grown more complex and arcane, glowing with a strange light.
Qin Feng glanced around his Grotto Heaven. The endless yellow sands were long gone.
There were mountains and seas, clouds and water. Ancient Wood towered toward the sky, and rare flowers, Exotic Grass, and orchids dotted the landscape, vibrant and tantalizing.
The Chaos Tree in the center, in particular, had grown even taller and more robust. Like a Divine Tree propping up the heavens, it ceaselessly drew in Chaos Primordial Qi from the Void outside the Grotto Heaven, nourishing this new world.
’So many Spiritual Roots?’
Although the Sea Demon Queen was immobilized, she could see everything happening in the Grotto Heaven with perfect clarity.
The sheer number of Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Roots was beyond her wildest imagination.
Across the continent, which spanned over a thousand li, clumps of Spirit Medicines covered more than half the land. Most were rare, high-grade specimens.
There were even quite a few high-level Spiritual Roots.
The innumerable Spiritual Roots regulated the flow of Primordial Qi, maintaining the Grotto Heaven’s balance and making it as stable as Taishan Mountain. Even the Grotto Heavens of some Venerables were hardly this magnificent.
Qin Feng spent a full seven days in the Void, making adjustments and running several checks. Once he was certain his Grotto Heaven was stable, he decisively released his suppressed aura.
The Cave Heaven True Power within him began to change rapidly. The aura of a Law brewed in its depths before emerging to fuse with his body and soul.
Even the entire Grotto Heaven started to radiate a peculiar aura.
BOOM!
Sensing this foreign presence, the entire Endless Void grew enraged, as if it had discovered a parasite and was about to unleash its thunderous might to exterminate the Alien Species!
’He’s starting to break through to the Martial Arts Great Power Realm! Such arrogance! He only just reached the Nirvana Realm, and now he’s pushing for another breakthrough. He’s unbelievably reckless. Even geniuses with the potential to become a Martial Dao Great Power wouldn’t be so rash. They would at least need to consolidate their power for a few years before even attempting it. But this is also my chance. The Chaos Celestial Tribulation is unpredictably powerful; it’s a tribulation the Endless Void unleashes upon Pocket World Blessed Lands. I might have an opportunity to escape in one fell swoop, or even kill this madman and seize his Cave Mansion!’
The Sea Demon Queen’s eyes glittered as she waited for her opportunity.
「In the Star Sect.」
Inside a grand hall, Yu Huatian crushed the Jade Cup in his hand, his face contorted with rage. "What did you just say? Long Jun Nian’s Soul Lamp has been extinguished?"
