Chapter 667: Breakthrough! Late Stage of Void Refinement
“You, a dignified tribulation-transcending cultivator, actually want to escape?”
Lin Feng scoffed, waving his hand, and countless sword shadows flew out, blocking the path of the old man in the black robe!
The old man furrowed his brow slightly and then dove into the void!
But at that moment, the void ahead suddenly exploded, releasing a destructive energy that forcibly pushed him out of the void.
“Poof!”
The old man in the black robe spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The energy from the void struck his chest, worsening his already serious injuries!
“Poof!”
Lin Feng advanced, pointing a finger.
A sharp sword qi pierced through the chest of the old man in the black robe, like a spear flying through the sky, pinning him firmly in mid-air, unable to move!
“No… impossible! How can you, a mere virtual-refining cultivator, perceive all my escape routes!”
The old man in the black robe looked at Lin Feng approaching through the void, his expression filled with terror!
“Swish~”
A faint purple light flickered in Lin Feng’s eyes!
The reason he could perceive everything was naturally due to the purple-gold eye technique taught to him by the old man, but there was no need to mention this to the old man in the black robe!
“Speak! Who sent you to kill me?” Lin Feng asked calmly.
Although he had defeated a tribulation-transcending expert, he felt no excitement in his heart!
Because this was merely an early-stage tribulation-transcending existence…
An existence at the bottom of the tribulation-transcending realm…
If the old man were to face the black-robed elder, he could probably crush him with a single slap, turning him into a mist of blood…
“Lin Feng, what’s the point of asking these questions? Let me go, and there’s still room for reconciliation between us! Otherwise, once the news of my death spreads, no one in the nine heavens and ten lands will be able to save you!”
The old man in the black robe said coldly.
“Swish!”
Lin Feng pointed again, severing the old man’s other arm at the root.
“Ah!!!”
The old man’s body trembled, and he let out a painful scream.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”
Blood flowed continuously from his wounds, allowing him to clearly feel life slowly slipping away…
“Lin Feng, have you thought this through? Do you know what kind of price you will pay for killing me?”
The old man in the black robe said with a trembling voice.
“At your age, you really have lived like a dog, and you still dare to threaten me? The thing I hate the most is being threatened by others!”
Lin Feng’s eyes shone with cold light, and without hesitation, he severed the black-robed elder’s legs.
“Ah!!!”
The old man in the black robe screamed repeatedly, the intense pain nearly causing him to faint.
As the ancient ancestor of the Zhang family, it was the first time he felt fear!
This man before him acted according to his own whims, completely disregarding common sense.
“I ask, you answer. If you say one more useless word, you die!”
Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
The old man in the black robe’s face lost all color, his mental defenses completely shattered!
He had only uttered a couple of threatening words, and now he had lost his limbs, almost turned into a human puppet!
“Who sent you?”
Lin Feng spoke coldly.
“The Zhang family, I am the ancient ancestor of the Zhang family, the protector Zhang Hai of Zhang Qishan!”
The old man in the black robe said with a trembling voice.
After a pause, he added with a pleading expression:
“Lin Feng, I know I was wrong. Our Zhang family should not have provoked you. If you let me go today, I will warn Zhang Qishan not to provoke you again. From now on, there will be no enmity between you and our Zhang family!”
“So it was Zhang Qishan who sent you!” Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
He had initially thought the old man’s arrival was related to the Angelic God Clan or the Dark Blood God Clan, but he never expected it to be Zhang Qishan…
Zhang Qishan had little contact with him; after witnessing his strength at the Copper Coffin Conference, he should have been extremely wary. Why would he send a protector to kill him?
Could it be…
“Lin Feng, I’ve already said it! Just let me go. I have lived from ancient times to today, and my lifespan is limited…”
The old man in the black robe began to play the sympathy card.
Lin Feng suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with coldness.
The old man in the black robe’s face turned pale, knowing that Lin Feng was not someone who would show mercy. He realized he was likely doomed today and angrily shouted:
“Lin Feng, if you kill me today, you will face endless pursuit from my Zhang family! From now on, there will be no place for you in the nine heavens and ten lands!”
“Buzz!”
Lin Feng stopped wasting words, placing his hand on the old man’s forehead, using the Essence Absorption Technique to devour Zhang Hai’s divine essence!
Ever since he broke through to the virtual-refining realm, the essence of ordinary cultivators had become ineffective for him; only tribulation-transcending cultivators would suffice…
The reason he hadn’t killed Zhang Hai was precisely for this moment!
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~”
Visible to the naked eye, streams of essence flowed from Zhang Hai’s body into Lin Feng’s.
This was the purest energy of every cultivator, the source of life, the purest essence of heaven and earth…
“Ah!! My life is slipping away, you… you actually….”
Zhang Hai stared at Lin Feng, wanting to say something, but the intense feeling of being drained shattered his throat, making it impossible for him to speak!
And so it continued for about three days and three nights!
Zhang Hai’s entire body eventually turned into a desiccated corpse, sinking into the deep sea, where fish devoured him completely!
Meanwhile, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, suspended above the sea, eyes closed in refinement.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s body shimmered with a faint white light, various Dao fruits appearing within the white glow, laws permeating, and divine thoughts swaying, making him look like an immortal descending to the mortal realm!
Such a terrifying phenomenon could only occur in tribulation-transcending experts, yet it now appeared on a virtual-refining cultivator. If this scene were to spread, it would undoubtedly shock the world!
After absorbing Zhang Hai’s essence, Lin Feng refined it for another day and night!
By the time dawn broke on the fifth day, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze becoming even deeper, like the stars of the universe, unfathomable…
At the same time, the void surrounding his body trembled slightly, as if it had solidified!
This indicated that he had reached the depths of the virtual-refining realm!
“This is the late stage of the virtual-refining realm? In a single thought, I can shatter the void or solidify it…”
Lin Feng murmured to himself.
Now, he no longer knew how strong he had become…
Because his strength could not be defined by a single realm; it was a rather vague situation…
When he previously broke through to the early stage of virtual-refining, he felt he could match a mid-stage tribulation-transcending cultivator, but after battling Zhang Hai, he realized he had been overly optimistic!
Every tribulation-transcending expert should not be underestimated.
The strength differences between tribulation-transcending cultivators were significant, sometimes even vast!
Take the master of the small tower, for example; when he was in the early stage of tribulation-transcending, Lin Feng would definitely not be his opponent.
And then there was the senior brother.
If the senior brother broke through to the early stage of tribulation-transcending, it would also be unlikely for Lin Feng to fight across multiple levels!
“Is that woman Xue Hongyao really in the late stage of tribulation-transcending? She feels even weaker than Zhang Hai to me!”
Lin Feng frowned, feeling quite puzzled.
He absorbed nearly twice the essence from Zhang Hai compared to what he had from Xue Hongyao; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to break through two levels…
“Wait! My interaction with Xue Hongyao was more like dual cultivation. Although I absorbed a lot of her essence, it didn’t harm her foundation, while Zhang Hai was completely drained into a desiccated corpse.”
Lin Feng figured out the key point.
