Chapter 582: Chapter 488: Breakthrough
Lin Feng stepped out of the Martial Intent Valley, and Tian Chen followed him.
"Eleventh Junior Brother, are you really determined to duel Zheng Renjie to the death?" Tian Chen asked with a slightly solemn expression.
"Of course!" Lin Feng nodded.
"Eleventh Junior Brother, how confident are you in defeating Zheng Renjie?" Tian Chen frowned and asked in a deep voice.
He, too, didn’t believe Lin Feng could defeat Zheng Renjie. The opponent’s cultivation had reached the Fourth Layer of a Heavenly Martial Master, with formidable combat prowess. Even he, Tian Chen, wasn’t a match for Zheng Renjie.
Tian Chen decided that if possible, he would stop Lin Feng from fighting the opponent, wait until Lin Feng’s cultivation advanced further, and then go and crush Zheng Renjie into dust. Wouldn’t that be better?
After pondering briefly, Lin Feng said, "Although I’m not absolutely certain of defeating him, I will not lose!"
Lin Feng displayed confidence. Although his current strength might not be on par with Zheng Renjie’s, his cultivation had improved through a period of stable practice, and he could still enhance it further. Zheng Renjie was not a huge concern!
"Oh?" Tian Chen was somewhat surprised, revealing a curious look in his eyes, not understanding why Lin Feng so confident.
After a while, Tian Chen nodded and asked no more. Since Lin Feng was so confident, he saw no need to stop him. The specific outcome of their fight would be known in time.
"By the way, Tenth Senior Brother, are meteors for sale within the Heavenly Spirit Sect?" Lin Feng inquired of Tian Chen.
"Meteors?"
Tian Chen was taken aback, then immediately nodded and said, "Of course, that kind of thing is generally only used by alchemists. You can have a look at the Spiritual Treasure Hall in Haotian Peak!"
"Mm, thanks a lot, Eleventh Senior Brother!" Lin Feng expressed his gratitude to Tian Chen.
"Eleventh Junior Brother, you’re too courteous. Go on! I’ll be returning to Sky-reaching Peak!" Tian Chen waved his hand, and with those words, he soared away towards Sky-reaching Peak.
Afterward, Lin Feng also headed for Haotian Peak. Of course, he was purchasing meteors to enhance his Star’s level. His Demon Dragon Star was currently only at the Sixth Rank of the Xuan Grade. It was indeed too low-level!
In not much time, Lin Feng arrived at Haotian Peak. Haotian Peak, the main peak of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, teemed with groups of disciples bustling to and fro, a lively scene that made a stark contrast to the quietness of Sky-reaching Peak.
The Spiritual Treasure Hall was located on the mountainside of Haotian Peak. Lin Feng casually asked around and soon found the location of the Spiritual Treasure Hall.
The Spiritual Treasure Hall was a majestic grand hall with various counters selling treasures. In addition to this, there were also many stalls inside selling treasures.
The stall owners were clearly some disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Lin Feng was astonished. It seemed that the Spiritual Treasure Hall was not only the treasure selling hall of the Heavenly Spirit Sect but also a free trade area. Anyone from the Heavenly Spirit Sect could set up a stall here to sell treasures.
After browsing the Spiritual Treasure Hall for a moment, Lin Feng found the counter selling meteors.
Upon asking, Lin Feng was overjoyed; they had nearly all grades of meteors available here, from Level One to Level Six meteors.
However, the Level Five and Level Six meteors were really too expensive, and with the current level of his Demon Dragon Star, he was not even sure if he could devour meteors of such high levels!
After all, a Level Five meteor is equivalent to the soul of a Demon Beast from the True Xuan Realm, while a Level Six meteor corresponds to the soul of a Demon Beast from the Martial King Realm. Both were far too advanced compared to his own Demon Dragon Star.
In the end, Lin Feng only purchased Level Four meteors, Fourth Layer, Ninth Rank Level Four Meteor Soul Crystals, priced at three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones each, which converted to Low Grade Spirit Stones amounts to three million each.
Lin Feng bought a total of one thousand Meteor Soul Crystals, exhausting thirty billion Low Grade Spirit Stones, which really pinched his heart—it was so damn expensive!
After this meteor purchase, Lin Feng had less than ten billion Low Grade Spirit Stones left.
Despite the heartache, Lin Feng only complained inwardly. Elevating the level of his Star was of utmost importance.
After buying the meteors, Lin Feng returned to Sky-reaching Peak, to his own loft.
"A thousand Fourth Layer, Ninth Rank Meteor Soul Crystals, I wonder how many ranks my Demon Dragon Star can advance?"
Lin Feng’s heart stirred with excitement. Immediately, unwilling to waste time, he began to devour the meteors.
Snap!
He took out a soul crystal, crushed it in his hand, and the meteor inside rapidly expanded, roaring as it flew out.
It was a wolf-shaped Demon Beast, ferocious beyond measure. It appeared suddenly, opening its jaws wide and pounced fiercely towards Lin Feng.
"Court death!" Lin Feng shouted coldly, instantly unleashing his Demon Dragon Star and vigorously activated it.
It has to be said, the Fourth Layer, Ninth Rank Demon Beast was truly powerful. Even now as a meteor, it remained extraordinary. Under the cover of Devouring Power, it struggled furiously, howling angrily.
For a moment, Lin Feng actually couldn’t devour it.
"I don’t believe I can’t devour you!"
Lin Feng roared, on one hand vigorously activating his Demon Dragon Star, on the other, his Sword Intent surged, with invisible shadows of swords piercing towards the wolf-shaped Demon Beast.
Finally, under the onslaught of countless sword shadows, the wolf-shaped Demon Beast could no longer resist the Devouring Power and was quickly devoured by Lin Feng.
Phew!
Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn’t buy the Level Five meteors, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to devour them at all.
Following that, Lin Feng continued with the devouring process.
However, today’s devouring of meteors proved to be much harder and slower than Lin Feng’s previous devouring experiences!
After three hours, Lin Feng had only devoured three hundred meteors. But after devouring these three hundred meteors, his Demon Dragon Star finally advanced a rank. It burst forth with seven purple rings of light and became a Xuan Grade Seventh Rank Star.
After the Star promotion, Lin Feng’s Devouring Power greatly increased, making it much easier to devour the remaining Fourth Layer, Ninth Rank meteors.
