Chapter 479: Chapter 440: Battle!_2
Fang Qingyun, Jiang Xian, Li Hai, and even Yu Wenjun were all dumbstruck, staring blankly at Lin Feng.
Yu Wenjun had even forgotten to attack.
The four were completely flabbergasted. Stars capable of absorbing blood, although extremely rare, they could still accept; after all, given the vastness of the world, there were no wonders amongst the stars that were not possible.
But stars that could advance in rank, they had simply never heard nor seen such a thing.
The level of a star largely represented one’s talent. If a star could advance, what then?
Their hearts trembled violently, and waves surged through their minds.
Ah!
It wasn’t until Jiang Xian was struck by a huge Wind Blade and let out a terrible scream that everyone snapped back to reality.
"Stars can absorb blood?"
"His star actually leveled up? How is that possible?"
"What kind of star is this?"
They all screamed as if they had seen a ghost.
Even though they were all super geniuses, accustomed to composure in honor or disgrace, at this moment, they were immensely shocked.
At this moment, Lin Feng had not yet retracted his star, and the blood from the injured Jiang Xian burst forth, no different from the previously deceased Hu Yuanlong.
"Not good!"
Jiang Xian’s face paled with fright, and without thinking, he rapidly retreated, ignoring the Wind Blades that added to his injuries, and in an instant, he withdrew hundreds of feet away.
Retreating hundreds of feet away, the blood from Jiang Xian’s body finally stopped spurting, but he had completely changed his appearance.
In just a breath’s time, Jiang Xian had become skin and bones, looking like a ghastly ghost.
"This..."
Fang Qingyun and the others were dumbfounded.
A massive amount of blood essence and True Yuan were absorbed by Lin Feng, causing his Physical Strength to rapidly surge. In just a few breaths, all blood essence and True Yuan were refined, and his Physical Strength rose to the level of a Martial Master Eighth Layer at the Peak.
Swoosh!
With a flash, Lin Feng dashed toward the cave in front.
That huge pitch-black cave was the Ten Thousand Year Stone Cave, precisely where the Ten Thousand Year Stone Milk was located.
Lin Feng was extremely fast, and the surge in his Physical Strength greatly improved his defensive power. Winds Blades that slashed at him could not harm him in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng was close to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Year Stone Cave.
Yu Wenjun’s face changed, and he immediately came to his senses. A flash of sword light appeared, and he released a burst of Sword Qi towards Lin Feng. His True Yuan boiling, he continuously wielded his longsword, setting up layer upon layer of Sword Screens around him, shredding one Sky Wind after another, and also rushing towards the cave.
"Shatter!"
Lin Feng’s body shone with brilliant golden light, and his sword light was swift like the wind, shattering Yu Wenjun’s Sword Qi with a single stroke.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, Lin Feng and Yu Wenjun dashed into the deep cave from opposite sides.
Behind, the emaciated Jiang Xian had an ashen face, his ghostly features filled with terror.
Soon after, Jiang Xian turned to return; currently suffering from severe injuries, he had no ability to compete for the Ten Thousand Year Stone Milk any longer and had to find a place to heal urgently.
As for the vengeance for Lin Feng injuring him, Jiang Xian would certainly not let it rest.
Seeing Jiang Xian leaving, Fang Qingyun and Li Hai wore ugly expressions, their brows furrowed.
Given the current situation, they simply didn’t have the ability to compete with Lin Feng and Yu Wenjun for treasures.
"What should we do, go in or retreat?"
Li Hai asked in a deep voice.
"If you’re scared, you can go back!"
Fang Qingyun said indifferently, then continued to walk forward.
Fang Qingyun didn’t want to retreat just like that. Although her strength was not as good as Lin Feng’s and Yu Wenjun’s, she had means to save her life and still wanted to compete.
Li Hai was briefly stunned, then after a moment of pondering, also chose to move forward; he too had life-saving means.
Though Lin Feng’s strange star could absorb blood, it seemed to only absorb the blood of the injured. As long as he was not injured, Lin Feng would be unable to affect him.
Moreover, Lin Feng’s strength seemed to be aided by the surrounding winds. Without the winds, Lin Feng’s strength would certainly be greatly reduced.
Not long after, the two of them also rushed into the ancient stone cave of ten thousand years.
Lin Feng and Yu Wenjun entered the stone cave of ten thousand years together and immediately flew towards the depths of the cave.
Once inside, without the aid of the Sky Wind, they both burst forth at their maximum speed, like two sharp swords shooting towards the depths of the cave.
This ancient stone cave was incredibly deep and wide, resembling a colossal underground world, and it extended downwards. The two of them flew for nearly dozens of miles before finally reaching the end of the cave.
At the end of the stone cave was a gigantic stone chamber with a radius of a thousand meters, with nine massive stone pillars hanging from the top upside down.
Beneith each stone pillar, on the ground, there was a small pool made of stone that looked like white jade, each containing a small amount of milky white liquid.
A faint milky-white halo lingered above each small pool, from which a dense Spiritual Energy emanated.
"Is this the Stone Milk of ten thousand years?"
Lin Feng was overjoyed; he didn’t expect to find so much ancient Stone Milk.
Originally, he thought that even if there was Stone Milk, there wouldn’t be much of it. After all, with every iteration of the Hundred Extremes List, people would come here.
In three years, producing a few drops of Stone Milk would be good, but now at first glance, all of the Stone Milk combined amounted to nearly half a bowl.
Swoosh!
A figure flashed by at an indescribably fast speed, rushing towards those small pools.
It was Yu Wenjun. At this moment, Yu Wenjun’s speed exploded like never before, reaching the small pools in just the blink of an eye.
Swish!
With a wave of his hand, a burst of air swept up, causing all the Stone Milk in the nine small pools to swirl up and fly towards him.
"Haha! To the victor go the spoils, I shall not be polite!"
Yu Wenjun laughed heartily, with the Stone Milk about to reach his grasp, his mood was incomparably uplifted.
As long as the Stone Milk was in his hands, even if Lin Feng was stronger or more cunning, it wouldn’t be possible for him to take it back.
"To the victor go the spoils? You think you’re worthy of being called that?"
Lin Feng sneered disdainfully and immediately shouted, "Devour!"
The power of the Demon Dragon Star churned, and the pitch-black vortex spun rapidly, its potent Devouring Power sweeping across the area. The Stone Milk of ten thousand years that was flying towards Yu Wenjun suddenly changed direction and swiftly flew towards Lin Feng.
All of the ancient Stone Milk, affected by the Devouring Power, instantly gathered in front of Lin Feng.
"What?"
Yu Wenjun’s face changed dramatically, completely unprepared for Lin Feng’s star power to be able to absorb the Stone Milk.
But Yu Wenjun was determined to get the Stone Milk. He couldn’t just watch as Lin Feng devoured it. His hand reached out, and in an instant, a True Yuan hand palm two fathoms large materialized. It opened and reached forward to grab all the Stone Milk back.
"There’s none for you, get lost!"
Lin Feng shouted coldly, as his figure retreated rapidly. At the same time, a sword light flashed, and an incredibly sharp Sword Qi slashed towards Yu Wenjun’s True Yuan palm.
Boom!
The Sword Qi struck the True Yuan palm, exploding upon impact. Lin Feng took advantage of the situation to retreat even faster, and the Stone Milk, being drawn by the Devouring Power, closely followed him.
Swoosh!
With a flip of his hand, a Jade Bottle appeared in Lin Feng’s hand. He then scooped up all the ancient Stone Milk quickly and stored it inside the Jade Bottle.
"Haha!"
Lin Feng laughed loudly as he put away the Jade Bottle and turned to fly rapidly outward. With the treasure in hand, he did not wish to stay and entangle with his opponent.
"Damn it!" As the prey flew out of reach, Yu Wenjun became furious. His figure blurred, leaving traces of afterimages as he swiftly chased after Lin Feng.
"Die!"
Yu Wenjun was hot on Lin Feng’s heels, shouting loudly. A massive Sword Qi slashed towards Lin Feng’s back. The fierce Sword Power sent a chill down Lin Feng’s spine.
"There is no limit to the sky!"
Lin Feng’s sword came out in defense, his body shuddering with a muffled grunt as he shot away even faster.
Yu Wenjun’s strike was incredibly powerful, enough to send Lin Feng flying with one hit.
Lin Feng had already exhausted his nine Silent Annihilation Sword Qi, and without the assistance of the wind in this ancient cave, even though his physical strength was comparable to that of the Peak of Martial Master Eighth Layer, he was still no match for Yu Wenjun.
Yu Wenjun, at the Peak of Eighth Layer Earth Martial Master’s Cultivation, is the second-highest expert on the Great Thousand Domain’s Hundred Extremes List. His combat power is formidable, on par with a Half-step Heavenly Martial Master.
The difference between their Cultivation levels was vast, and the Devouring Power of the Demon Dragon Star had little effect on Yu Wenjun.
Of course, although Lin Feng was not his opponent, he still had the ability to protect himself in his opponent’s hands.
