CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 552_2

Following that, Lin Feng chatted with An Nuan for a few moments before returning to his own attic to start reviewing the Great Three Treasures Technique in his mind.

The Great Three Treasures Technique, a top-level combat secret technique, allowed one to extract essence Qi from their own body and convert it into combat strength. For every ten percent of essence Qi drawn, one’s combat strength would double. If one hundred percent was drawn, it would increase tenfold.

However, this secret technique had severe side effects. Extracting less than fifty percent of one’s essence Qi could be recovered in a short time, but extracting sixty to seventy percent would greatly harm a Martial Artist, requiring a long time to recover thereafter.

Drawing eighty to ninety percent would lead to substantial Primordial Qi damage, causing irrevocable harm to the Martial Artist.

And extracting a full one hundred percent of one’s essence Qi meant that, at most, after fifteen minutes the Martial Artist would perish from complete depletion.

Sigh.

After carefully reviewing the details of the Great Three Treasures Technique, Lin Feng took a deep breath.

This technique was heaven-defying, but the side effects were also tremendously large.

Nonetheless, no matter how great the side effects, Lin Feng was determined to cultivate it, because at critical moments, this technique could save his life!

If he were to face a life-and-death crisis in the future, what would those side effects matter compared to his own life?

Shortly after, Lin Feng began to cultivate the Great Three Treasures Technique in his room.

Five days later, Lin Feng left Sky-reaching Peak to head for Haotian Peak.

Lin Feng was making preparations to return to Hongyu. During his previous journey to the Xuan Domain, he and Hong Qingxuan, along with Wu Sheng, managed to cross dozens of Domains in just over two months by making use of the transmission arrays of other forces.

This time, he naturally needed to use the transmission arrays again. Otherwise, even with his current level of cultivation, flying to Hongyu would take more than a year.

And he didn’t have much time left; just over a year and a half remained.

The Heavenly Spirit Sect had a Grand Transmission Hall, which could directly transport one to the surrounding several Domains. From there, he could utilize other forces’ transmission arrays.

Before leaving, Lin Feng requested over a hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones from his master, Huangfu Qing.

Only Top Grade Spirit Stones could activate the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array, and additionally, Lin Feng also asked a few fellow disciples like Feng Shaoyu for information. Many Domains in the East Continent hosted many major forces allied to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and essentially all of these major forces possessed their own Cross-Domain Teleportation Arrays.

As forces affiliated with the Heavenly Spirit Sect, they naturally wouldn’t refuse Lin Feng’s requests. Moreover, Lin Feng had the Nine Heavens Sacred Order in his possession.

Walking on the mountain path of Haotian Peak, many disciples who saw Lin Feng couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. The shock Lin Feng had delivered in the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition a few days earlier still lingered with them.

Hearing the murmurs around him, Lin Feng thought of his wager with Qian Xunyue and chuckled inwardly. That woman, Qian Xunyue, must have a very fascinating expression right now!

The Grand Transmission Hall was located at the mountainside of Haotian Peak, with a dozen arrays inside it flickering with milky white light.

These arrays all led to about a dozen surrounding Domains.

There were quite a few disciples coming and going within the Grand Hall, each of them exuding incredibly strong auras, with most being True Xuan Realm Inner Disciples. Outer Disciples were very rare.

This was because Outer Disciples seldom left the Xuan Domain. Only Inner Disciples would venture to other Domains for tempering.

Walking into the Grand Transmission Hall, Lin Feng made some inquiries with the Elders inside and soon got a clear idea of the destinations of each transmission array.

Then, Lin Feng paid one million Middle Grade Spirit Stones and stepped into the transmission array leading to the Dragon Region.

The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Cross-Domain Teleportation Arrays were not free to use and came at a high price. However, charging this price was just a formality, because the Top Grade Spirit Stones used to activate the transmission array once, if converted to Middle Grade Spirit Stones, would cost at least a few million.

Yet disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect did not need to spend their own spirit stones to activate the transmission arrays.

Entering the transmission array, a steward dedicatedly placed the spirit stones and activated the array.

After a burst of light flashes, Lin Feng’s figure disappeared within the array.

Inside the Grand Hall, a few gazes followed Lin Feng’s departing silhouette, flashing with curious lights.

...

Dragon Region, Red Star City.

In an inconspicuous attic, with a flash of light, Lin Feng’s figure abruptly appeared.

After a short while, as the dizziness faded, Lin Feng looked around and found the attic empty, save for an elder meditating with closed eyes.

"Greetings to the senior!" Lin Feng guessed this person might be an Elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, so he gave the elder a bow.

"Hm! Go ahead!" The elder did not open his eyes, just giving a slight nod.

Lin Feng nodded and immediately left the attic, stepping onto the street outside.

Upon reaching the street, Lin Feng immediately concealed his aura and slipped into a nearby, hidden alley.

Then, Lin Feng released his spiritual sense, tightly locking onto that unremarkable loft.

Lin Feng had to be cautious now. He’d been ambushed too many times before and wouldn’t let the same thing happen again.

Back at the Divine Wind Camp, he had sinned against the Heavenly Alliance, and after leaving the sect, he was hunted down.

Now he had sinned against Luotian Peak, so he was also worried that Luotian Peak would send people to hunt him down.

However, after waiting for half an hour, Lin Feng saw no one following him and slightly relaxed.

"It seems I was overthinking it!"

Lin Feng shook his head, then flew away swiftly. Soon, he left Red Star City and headed for his next destination.

A while after Lin Feng left Red Star City, a young man in a python robe with a stern face and tall stature walked out from that quaint loft.

...

Within the clouds, Lin Feng moved swiftly like lightning, flying towards a sect named Flying Snow Sect.

The Flying Snow Sect was one of the few forces in the Dragon Region that relied on the Heavenly Spirit Sect, as most of the large sects in the Dragon Region relied on the Azure Dragon Sacred Sect, with only a few large powers deeply connected with the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

While in flight, Lin Feng thought about the little eight who last swallowed a few Earth Martial Masters at the Ninth Layer Peak, wondering how it was doing!

Immediately, he slapped his spiritual beast bag, and with a flash of purple light, a huge purple serpent appeared beside him.

The giant serpent was none other than little eight!

Hiss!

Before little eight could hiss, Lin Feng himself took a sharp breath.

Because little eight’s size had now doubled, reaching over forty zhang in length, colossal, with its purple scales shimmering coldly.

Although little eight still carried two pairs of fleshy wings on its back, its aura was extremely powerful, clearly reaching the level of a Level Four Eighth Layer Demon Beast.

Lin Feng was shocked. Wasn’t it just that little eight swallowed Xiao Xuanyi, Shi Ying, and Fan Jing, three Earth Martial Masters at the Ninth Layer Peak? It had actually become a Level Four Eighth Layer Demon Beast.

"Ha ha! Great!" Lin Feng was overjoyed, and he couldn’t help but feel moved, thinking that just like how swallowing humans could increase his strength, a spiritual beast he owned could also increase in strength by swallowing humans, and it was much more ferocious than himself.

Hiss hiss!

Little eight’s gigantic body flew around Lin Feng, hissing excitedly, clearly thrilled.

During this time, it had been confined in the spiritual beast bag and was fed up!

"Ha ha! Little eight, on returning to the Hongyu Domain this time, I will destroy the Hongyu Sub Hall of Blood Luo Hall and let you have your fill!"

Lin Feng laughed heartily, then stepped on little eight’s back and sped off like a bolt of lightning.

...

Hu Ben Country, Imperial City.

Outside the Imperial Palace, hundreds of strong individuals gathered in the sky, most of whom were martial masters, with only five being Earth Martial Masters.

Among the five Earth Martial Masters, there was a middle-aged swordsman carrying a longsword, who was none other than Yun Shan, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and a **** woman in a purple dress, who was the Sect Master of the Tianyuan Sect, Yao Meng.

The other three Earth Martial Masters were black-robed figures, strong men from the Blood Luo Hall.

These three had noticeably stronger auras than Yun Shan and Yao Meng. Two of them were at the Second Layer Earth Martial Master cultivation, and one was astonishingly at the Third Layer Earth Martial Master cultivation.

And at this moment, these five Earth Martial Masters, along with a large number of martial artist warriors, were fiercely attacking the Imperial Palace.

Above the towering Imperial Palace, a giant transparent qi shield enveloped it.

The transparent qi shield trembled continuously under the attacks of the five Earth Martial Masters and several hundred martial artist experts, appearing as if it could collapse at any moment.

Boom boom boom!!!

Countless attacks flashed, turning into streams of assaults that collided with the transparent qi shield amid fierce explosions, shaking it violently and causing fine cracks to appear.

"Break the array as quickly as possible, and kill everyone from the Divine Wind Camp and the Hu Ben Royal Family!" shouted the black-robed person with Third Layer Earth Martial Master cultivation.
