CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 434 BLOOD

Inside the Heavenly Vault Divine Realm, there are geniuses from various domains of the East Continent, anyone Lin Feng randomly encounters has strength close to Ao Wushuang. If his strength does not improve further, it would be difficult to contend with the top talents from those great domains.

Although he possesses the strongest trump card, the Demon Dragon Star, it is not omnipotent. If the disparity in strength between two sides is too great, the Devouring Power of the Demon Dragon Star will hardly affect others significantly.

Before long, a hilly area appeared in Lin Feng’s sight, and he swiftly flew over.

Soon after, he excavated a simple cave in a mountain depression and began his retreat.

Firstly, Lin Feng took out the Demon Cores he had hunted. There weren’t many, only a total of one hundred and ten.

Among them were five Demon Cores, precisely from the five Ancient Demon Beasts he had previously hunted. The remaining hundred and some were obtained before attending Jia Yuanji’s banquet, in the Demon Cloud Mountain Range of Dongsheng Country.

The Demon Cores obtained from the Demon Cloud Mountain Range were of lower levels, mostly Level Three Second Layer and Third Layer Demon Cores. However, even so, the demonic power contained within them was quite immense.

Although the demonic power in the Demon Cores was tremendous, the high concentration of Demon Energy was not suitable for breaking through realms. Therefore, Lin Feng planned to first use Demon Cores to elevate his cultivation to the extreme limit of an Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer, then use Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicine to attempt a realm breakthrough.

Grabbing a few Demon Cores, Lin Feng activated the Demon Dragon Star inside his body and began devouring.

The surging demonic power entered Lin Feng’s body and, after repeated refining to remove the embedded Demon Energy, only pure Spiritual Power remained, which was then refined into True Yuan and integrated into Lin Feng’s nine Spirit Vortices.

Time slowly passed.

An hour later, Lin Feng had devoured more than half of the one hundred ten Demon Cores, and his cultivation reached the peak of Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer.

Three hours later, all Demon Cores were wholly devoured, and Lin Feng’s True Yuan reached the extreme limit of Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer, only a step away from the Earth Martial Master Fifth Layer.

With a swoosh of his hand, Lin Feng took out all the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines, including those two thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

Based on previous experience, these Spirit Stones would definitely not suffice for a breakthrough in realm. Fortunately, there were also more than twenty Level Three Spiritual Medicines, which should be about enough.

The medicinal force of these twenty-plus Level Three Spiritual Medicines was not much less compared to those few million Spirit Stones.

Quietly watching the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines before him, Lin Feng took a deep breath and then abruptly shouted, "Explode!"

Instantly activating the Demon Dragon Star, the massive Spirit Stones exploded all at once, forming a dense Spirit Fog, and the medicinal force of the twenty-plus Spiritual Medicines crazily surged towards Lin Feng.

Inside Lin Feng, Spiritual Energy boiled as he continually absorbed and refined, attempting to break through to the Earth Martial Master Fifth Layer Realm.

Lin Feng’s realm breakthrough required so much Spiritual Energy because he possessed two stars.

Time slowly passed.

Lin Feng, like a meditating monk, remained motionless, incessant booming sounds echoing within his body.

After a long while, Lin Feng’s realm bottleneck finally began to loosen, nearing a breakthrough, just when the Spiritual Energy from all the Spirit Stones and the medicinal power from the Spiritual Medicines were about to be completely refined.

"Too bad, just a little bit more!"

Lin Feng panicked. He was now at the critical point of breaking through his cultivation, but the Spiritual Energy was already depleted.

Although his Demon Dragon Star had advanced to the Earth Level Fourth Rank, rapidly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy, relying solely on the star to absorb nature’s spiritual energy was utterly insufficient.

If there was no support from Spiritual Energy, Lin Feng would not only fail to break through the realm, but all the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines he devoured would be wasted, and he would have to start all over next time.

"What should I do?"

Lin Feng grew anxious, but he no longer had any Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, or Demon Cores on him.

"Right! Duan Jingtian!"

Suddenly, an idea struck Lin Feng. Duan Jingtian’s body was still in one of his storage bags. Duan Jingtian could not possibly be penniless; he must have had Spirit Stones on him.

With a swipe of his hand, the unrecognizable body of Duan Jingtian appeared before Lin Feng. Duan Jingtian’s hand did not have a storage ring, but Lin Feng quickly found a Storage Bag on him.

Upon opening it, there were plenty of items inside including Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and Secret Manuals.

There was a small pile of Low Grade Spirit Stones, amounting to seven to eight hundred thousand. Besides that, there were dozens of Spiritual Medicines.

Without time to carefully count, Lin Feng swiftly took out all the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines and began devouring fervently.

With the support of this batch of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines, a quarter-hour later, Lin Feng’s cultivation bottleneck was finally breached.

Within the cave where Lin Feng was located, within several miles, Spiritual Energy surged like a tide towards him.

Boom, boom, boom!!

Within Lin Feng, it surged rapidly, the True Yuan within the Spirit Vortices surging like huge waves.

Moments later, everything returned to calm.

"Finally advanced to the Earth Martial Master Fifth Layer Realm!"

Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief and murmured, "I wonder what kind of strength the geniuses from super domains like Xuan Domain, Thunder Domain, Dragon Region, and Cloud Domain possess? My current strength should not be too far off from theirs!"

The East Continent has a total of one hundred and eight domains, among which Xuan Domain, Thunder Domain, Cloud Domain, and Dragon Region are the largest four domains of the East Continent, these four domains almost occupying half of the East Continent.

Among these four domains, Xuan Domain is the most powerful, arguably regarded as the center of the East Continent.

Other domains, such as Great Yan Domain, Yuanwu Domain, Heavenly Star Domain, Snow Domain, and several others, though not as strong as these four Great Domains, are also strong domains, far surpassing the Great Thousand Domain.

Lin Feng’s eyes sparkled, now that his cultivation stepped into the Earth Martial Master Fifth Layer Realm, even when facing the top talents from those strong domains and great domains on the Hundred Extremes List, he also had great confidence.
