Chapter 488: Chapter 445 Talent Skill
Wherever he went, everything was looted mercilessly, and those who resisted were killed without pardon!
In just three hours, Lin Feng had plundered over twenty people. This was also due to the dispersed distribution of people within the Heavenly Vault Divine Realm, otherwise the number would have been even greater.
Fortunately, a two-thousand-mile journey was not considered long for Lin Feng at this time, and it did not take him much time to make a round trip.
Under a large tree, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, with several corpses of talents in front of him. These were people who either refused to surrender their Storage Rings or attempted to resist, all killed by Lin Feng.
In addition, there were tens of millions of Low Grade Spirit Stones in front of Lin Feng.
The Demon Dragon Star released its energy, the Spirit Stones exploded, and Essence Blood surged as Lin Feng began to devour once more.
Golden light radiated from Lin Feng’s body, dazzling and spectacular, with the enormous shadow of a barbaric figure flashing incessantly, imposing and awe-inspiring.
Lin Feng’s cultivation could no longer be improved as within just two days, his cultivation skyrocketed by three levels, making his foundation very unstable; his True Essence was already floating and needed time to settle.
Therefore, Lin Feng could only enhance his Physical Strength. His Wanxiang Divine Skill had reached the Ninth Layer Mid Stage, comparable in strength to a Peak Earth Martial Master Eighth Layer martial artist, and he could still improve further.
Time slowly passed, and after a while, the Essence Blood was completely devoured, and the tens of millions of Low Grade Spirit Stones were also consumed.
"Sigh! The needed Spiritual Energy is increasing, Low Grade Spirit Stones are no longer sufficient; Middle Grade Spirit Stones are more effective!"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes; the enhancement of Physical Strength, like the progression of his cultivation realm, required increasingly vast amounts of Spiritual Energy.
Rustle!!
With a wave of his arm, tens of millions of Low Grade Spirit Stones reappeared in front of Lin Feng, and he resumed his devouring.
After a while, the tens of millions of Low Grade Spirit Stones were consumed again, and Lin Feng ceased his cultivation.
"Finally, I have reached the Late Stage of the Ninth Layer. Now, relying solely on my Physical Strength, I am comparable to ordinary Earth Martial Master Ninth Layer martial artists!"
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He did not continue devouring as his Physical Strength had already surpassed his cultivation realm by two levels and any more cultivation could lead back to the situation where his Physical Strength absorbs the Dantian’s True Essence.
At present, whether it be True Essence Cultivation or Physical Strength, Lin Feng had reached a critical point.
True Essence was unstable, the foundation unsteady, cultivation could not be further improved, and excessive enhancement of Physical Strength was also no longer feasible.
In any case, in every aspect, he could no longer enhance further and must stabilize for some time.
"What’s happening?"
Lin Feng looked down at the skin on his arm, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.
At the moment, when he activated his body’s strength, a layer of faint golden scales appeared all over his skin, resembling huge fish scales.
Previously, when he activated his body’s strength, it would emit bright golden light, but now, the light was no longer dazzling but instead converged into golden scales on the skin.
This made Lin Feng very puzzled. Could this be the innate Talent Skill of the Ancient Shield Dragon?
If he continued to cultivate like this, wouldn’t he turn into a monster covered in scales?
Lin Feng’s expression became slightly serious, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed and stopped worrying, realizing that the golden scales would only appear when he greatly exerted his Physical Strength and would not normally show on his skin, so there was no great need to be concerned.
"These scales should have strong defensive power, shouldn’t they?"
A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes as he pulled out the Spirit-Slaying Sword and gently slashed at his arm.
Clang!
A sound of metal striking metal rang out, and Lin Feng’s arm remained unharmed, not even a mark left.
Lin Feng’s eyes brightened. Although he hadn’t used much force in his slash, with the edge of the Spirit-Slaying Sword, piercing the Protective True Essence of an Earth Martial Master Sixth Layer Peak martial artist would be easy, yet it left no mark on his own arm.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng raised the Spirit-Slaying Sword high, the Longsword’s light surged immensely, and Lin Feng activated some strands of True Essence, slashing down again.
Clang!
Once again, the sound of metal striking metal echoed, and still, Lin Feng’s arm remained unharmed, without a trace of damage.
"Amazing!"
Lin Feng’s eyes shone brightly. The strike just now, powerful enough to match a full blow from an Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer Peak martial artist, still failed to leave even a mark!
If his body was in its previous state, although such an attack could not harm him, it would definitely have left a clear sword mark on the skin.
"Let’s try one more time!"
Lin Feng raised his sword again, the sword light blazing and the Sword Power enveloping the air.
This time, the force of his sword was enormously powerful, enough to match the full power strike of an ordinary Earth Martial Master Eighth Layer Peak master.
Swoosh!
The sword light flashed, violently slashing down.
Clang!
Another loud sound of metal striking metal resounded, the Spirit-Slaying Sword being rebounded upon impacting Lin Feng’s arm, still not harming his skin.
Lin Feng steadied his gaze at his arm. There was a faint white mark on the skin, barely noticeable unless scrutinized closely.
"Phew!"
Lin Feng let out a breath, a smile curving at the corners of his mouth.
"This level of defensive power can completely withstand attacks from ordinary Earth Martial Master Ninth Layer martial artists without receiving any damage! If coupled with Protective True Essence, it will be even more terrifying!"
Lin Feng muttered to himself, no longer needing to continue testing to have a clear understanding of the defensive capabilities of his golden scales.
If he encountered foes like Li Hai and Fang Qingyun again, even without striking, their attacks could not possibly harm him.
After a short while, Lin Feng began to circulate the Silent Annihilation Heart Method, continuing to cultivate and stabilize his realm.
