Chapter 556: Literally Defying the Heavens
The thick scent of blood permeated the air.
Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan dared not even breathe heavily; their bodies uncontrollably started to tremble slightly. Shen Feng's strength was unimaginably powerful; to him, these ten Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls were as weak as ants.
A moment later.
The blood and brains in the heads of these Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls were all sprayed out, their massive bodies collapsed one after another.
Shen Feng did not rush to absorb the cultivation from the bodies of the Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls; after all, even those reduced to ashes, he could restore their energy as if they were still alive.
Besides, his cultivation was currently at the peak of the eleventh layer of Foundation Establishment. If he absorbed the cultivation of so many Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls in one go, he was very likely to directly break through to the Golden Core Stage, since stepping into the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment required some preparation and was not simply about the accumulation of overwhelming energy.
Shen Feng glanced at Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan. He wasn't a ruthless killer, and although these two were from Green Jade Gate, they hadn't provoked him yet. Moreover, with the strength he had just shown, they surely wouldn't dare harbor any malicious thoughts. He casually said, "Help me manage the corpses of these ten Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls properly; you can find a place to bury them for now."
As he finished speaking.
Without any further idle talk, Shen Feng's figure swiftly moved towards the Gate of Life and Death.
The corpses of these ten Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls were, after all, not that important to him.
After Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan saw Shen Feng disappear from their sight, it took them quite a while to regain their senses. They hadn't expected Shen Feng to enter the Gate of Life and Death just like that.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qiufeng said, "Qianlan, in Senior Shen's eyes, we are just insignificant figures. Besides, we have never had a direct conflict with him; it's only natural that he didn't make a move against us."
Li Qiufeng had completely adjusted her mentality and was very clear in her heart that from now on, Earth's ruler could only be Shen Feng.
Wang Qianlan pursed her lips and said, "Who would've thought that we would end up being saved by Senior Shen."
Li Qiufeng sighed and said, "This is all fate! Now, all we need to do is take care of what Senior Shen asked us to do."
While they were speaking.
Li Qiufeng looked at the huge corpses of the Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls in front of her, her amazement never ceased. The thought of how these Devouring Blood Demonic Bulls could swallow a Nascent Soul Middle Stage powerhouse whole and how they all died instantly at Shen Feng's hands, made her heart rate accelerate uncontrollably.
...
Meanwhile.
After entering the Gate of Life and Death, what came into Shen Feng's view was a vast small world.
Although the Spiritual Energy of the entire Earth had been restored to its peak of thousands of years and had even slightly surpassed its past, the Spiritual Energy in this small world was even denser than outside.
This small world should have been artificially created and was not originally part of Earth.
The person capable of creating such a small world was naturally that mysterious strong being.
Shen Feng paused in the sky above the small world, his Perceptive Force continuously emanating outward. He sensed that there were quite a few Monster Beasts existing in this small world.
A moment later.
He looked toward the core area of the small world, where he vaguely sensed a turmoil of Blood Qi.
Without much hesitation, his figure immediately moved towards the core area of the small world, executing the Two-Star Immortal Technique, Mysterious Wind Step Technique.
Although there were many Monster Beasts here, their strength was not too high. As Shen Feng executed the Mysterious Wind Step Technique, the other Monster Beasts could hardly keep up with his speed.
The core area of this small world was within a stretch of mountain forest. Sensing the place where the Blood Qi was churning, Shen Feng's figure swiftly made its way there.
Although many Monster Beasts could not match Shen Feng's speed, they still followed after him.
But when Shen Feng rushed towards the tumultuous blood qi, the steps of the monster beasts stopped.
He saw that the source of the blood qi was in a clearing within this dense forest.
There was an irregularly shaped pool in the clearing.
The pool was filled with a blood-red liquid, probably some kind of blood, which was precisely what Shen Feng had sensed earlier.
Moreover, standing above this pool, Shen Feng could already smell an extremely strong scent of blood.
Shen Feng had not expected to find a blood pool here, and as he watched the blood churn within it, his brows slightly furrowed.
He sensed that around the blood pool, a formation had been set up, which he confirmed after some perception, could prevent the energy within from dissipating and also stop monster beasts and cultivators from approaching.
Fortunately, this formation was something that Shen Feng could still comprehend.
After figuring out the method to break the formation, Shen Feng's figure instantly landed in it, his steps walking in a regular pattern within the formation while spiritual energy continuously surged from under his feet.
This surging spiritual energy was altering the structure of the formation, ultimately leading to its unraveling.
After Shen Feng entered the formation,
blood-red light began to flicker within it – and as Shen Feng continuously altered its structure, the flickering blood-red light gradually dimmed until it completely vanished. A "pop" sound came from the formation, indicating that no energy was emanating from it any longer.
When the formation was broken and Shen Feng's steps approached the blood pool,
a "boom" sounded.
A shocking and earth-shattering wave of energy burst forth from the blood pool, causing all the blood within to boil violently.
The next second,
a flash of disbelief crossed Shen Feng's eyes.
Above the blood pool, various shadows of monster beasts and even divine beasts started to appear.
Among them were the Azure Dragon, Phoenix, Kirin, and Vermilion Bird, among others.
There were at least hundreds of these monster or divine beast shadows.
To form such lifelike shadows, the blood pool must contain the blood of these monster beasts or divine beasts.
One must know that many of these divine beasts are exceedingly rare even in the Immortal Realm, and obtaining their blood is even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
It seems that this blood pool was no ordinary one, but a Hundred Beasts Blood Pool.
And not just any Hundred Beasts Blood Pool, but indeed a top-tier one.
According to what was described in the Foundation Establishment Canon, to step into the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment, one must prepare a Hundred Beasts Blood Pool.
Of course, the level of the Hundred Beasts Blood Pool would impact the chance of a cultivator stepping into the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment and even affect their combat power after entering.
Shen Feng hadn't been in the Gate of Life and Death for long and had yet to find a way to leave Earth, yet he had first come across a top-tier Hundred Beasts Blood Pool.
This meant that Shen Feng could now attempt to break through to the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment here; his luck was simply heaven-defying, as was this top-tier Hundred Beasts Blood Pool.
If such a top-tier Hundred Beasts Blood Pool were to be revealed in the Immortal Realm Shen Feng originally came from, it would absolutely ignite a massive war, even a battle to the death, as the blood of these monster beasts was useful to many powerhouses.
