Chapter 676: The Strong Killing
After blocking a strike,
the Limitless Emperor Flame and the Nine Nether Azure Flame returned to the depths of Shen Feng's Dantian.
Liu Penghai's eyes suddenly narrowed, a solemn expression washing over his face. Although he hadn't used his full strength in that palm strike, it was more than enough to kill a cultivator at the peak of the Swallowing Spirit stage. Little did he expect that the two Lifebound Flames possessed by the youngster before him could wield such tremendous power. No wonder this kid was so confident!
There are many Lifebound Flames of the same color in the world. Generally speaking, unless one is quite familiar with the various flames, it's difficult to determine their nature in a short time without coming into direct contact with them. Liu Penghai, who was obviously not adept at utilizing Lifebound Flames, failed to recognize the significance of the Limitless Emperor Flame and the Nine Nether Azure Flame.
A hint of fear emerged on Du Mo's face. When Shen Feng had incinerated a few disciples of the Blood Soul Demon Sect with the Limitless Emperor Flame and the Nine Nether Azure Flame, he had been controlling the temperature all along! Thus, Du Mo had not felt the true terror of the two flames. He couldn't fathom how this youngster could kindle two Lifebound Flames, and furthermore, how their power could be so terrifyingly immense, defying all reason.
However, he was aware that Liu Penghai had yet to exert his true strength. Moreover, the real powerhouse of this mining site hadn't made their appearance yet! In his view, despite Shen Feng seemingly showing off his prowess, the ultimate outcome was bound to be very tragic.
Jia Longxuan and Jia Shouhong, along with the others, felt completely reassured now. No matter what cultivation level Senior Shen appeared to possess on the surface, just like back on Earth, he would surely sweep through every obstacle in the end.
And those Loose Cultivator slaves and disciples of the Blood Soul Demon Sect shared the same view as Du Mo; Shen Feng had merely flaunted his might temporarily.
As Liu Penghai's dark gaze fixated on Shen Feng,
another aged voice rang out: "Hold on!"
The voice, filled with undulating sounds, caused many present to wince with ear-piercing pain.
Upon hearing this voice, cultivators of the Blood Soul Demon Sect, including Liu Penghai, immediately straightened with the utmost respect.
That's because the owner of the voice was none other than the Fifth Elder of the Blood Soul Demon Sect, the person truly in charge of this mining site, whose cultivation had genuinely reached the Initial Stage of Tribulation Transcendence.
The entire mining site fell silent at once.
That sonorous, age-worn voice of the Fifth Elder sounded again: "Not bad, not bad at all! I've never seen anyone capable of igniting two Lifebound Flames, and your combat strength is also quite extraordinary!"
"Kneel, bow your head, and accept me as your master, and I'll let bygones be bygones regarding today's incident."
As soon as these words were uttered,
it was Du Mo whose expression changed dramatically first. If Shen Feng became the disciple of the Fifth Elder, he would surely rise rapidly within the Blood Soul Demon Sect. Du Mo couldn't accept this reality, believing almost with absolute certainty that Shen Feng would agree, for who could decline the offer from a powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?
A subtle change flashed in Liu Penghai's eyes as well; however, he dared not offend the Fifth Elder and could only stand still, awaiting the development of events.
The surrounding slaves and people from the Blood Soul Demon Sect also secretly admired Shen Feng's good fortune.
Only Jia Longxuan and Gu Hengyuan, among others, snorted in disdain. How could the once mighty Carefree Immortal Emperor stoop to acknowledging a mere Initial Stage Tribulation Transcendence old man as a master? What a joke!
Indeed.
Shen Feng spoke indifferently, "You want to be my master? Are you qualified? You'll let bygones be bygones for today's incident? Do you think you're at the Immortal Emperor Stage? Quite the lofty sentiment!"
Huh?
Upon hearing Shen Feng's words, the unseen Fifth Elder was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Shen Feng not only to refuse but to also speak with such disdain towards him.
He had wished to take Shen Feng as a disciple out of mere curiosity about the ability to ignite two Lifebound Flames and because Shen Feng had shown exceptionally strong combat capabilities, which would make him a valuable subject for study.
Having experienced many hardships in the Immortal Realm, Shen Feng naturally guessed the old man's true intentions weren't benevolent, so agreeing to his proposal would have been strange indeed!
"Heh~"
A cold snicker reverberated through the sky. The Fifth Elder's voice was devoid of emotion; he said, "What an ignorant and arrogant brat."
"Elder Liu, do you need me to take action?"
Liu Penghai hurriedly replied respectfully, "Fifth Elder, he's just an insignificant Swallowing Spirit peak youngster. I was nowhere near serious just now. Such a character doesn't warrant your personal intervention! I will ensure that his two Lifebound Flames are preserved intact."
The absent Fifth Elder said only four words: "Make it quick and decisive!"
As the words of the Fifth Elder fell,
Liu Penghai's aura surged once more, his figure charging towards Shen Feng violently.
Upon seeing Liu Penghai move, a scornful smile appeared on Du Mo's lips, he muttered to himself, "Such a hopeless fool! He really thinks a peak Sea Transformation expert is that easy to defeat?"
At the same time.
As Liu Penghai charged towards Shen Feng, a flickering red light continually shimmered at his brow. When he was only about ten meters away from Shen Feng, the red light blossoming at his brow grew even more dazzling, "Blood Sea Soul Devour!"
"Boom!"
A ceaseless tide of blood-red light burst forth from Liu Penghai's brow, imbued with a special Divine Soul Attack force.
This unending surge of blood-red light, like forming a crimson ocean, instantly enshrouded Shen Feng within it.
Although the blood-red light concentrated entirely on Shen Feng, the rest of the people nearby, after being hit by the residual waves, felt their Divine Souls within their brows churning tumultuously, as though on the verge of collapse at any moment; their complexions turned exceedingly grim.
Blood Sea Soul Devour.
This was a three-star Immortal Technique from the Blood Soul Demon Sect! It could devour a cultivator's Divine Soul, and once the Divine Soul was devoured, the cultivator would become a walking corpse.
Even so, after turning into a walking corpse, the Lifebound Flame inside the cultivator's body wouldn't extinguish.
Seeing Shen Feng engulfed by the blood-red light, motionless, Liu Penghai thought that Shen Feng had been immobilized, and he scoffed, "Now you should realize the difference in strength, right? Did you really think you could defeat me with your mere peak Swallowing Spirit cultivation? You were completely relying on the Lifebound Flame just now."
In the midst of speaking.
Liu Penghai pointed a finger towards Shen Feng.
The blood-red light enveloping him hastened its infiltration into his brow, attempting to devour the Divine Soul within it.
Shen Feng did not retaliate.
Previously, back on Earth, he had acquired a strand of Immortal Realm Fire.
Now, this strand of Immortal Realm Fire had been steadfastly bound to his Divine Soul, granting immunity to Divine Soul attacks.
That was why he appeared indifferent.
Above the Divine Soul at his brow burned the purple Immortal Realm Fire, restraining all the invading red light and leaving his Divine Soul completely unharmed.
Liu Penghai, looking at the motionless Shen Feng, thought the young man's Divine Soul was being continuously devoured, causing his consciousness to rapidly fade away. He laughed again, "It's all over now!"
However.
The moment his last word dropped.
The purple Immortal Realm Fire at Shen Feng's brow burned more fiercely, emitting an extreme rebound force from within the flames.
"Boom!"
The blood-red light that had enshrouded Shen Feng, as well as that which was intruding upon his brow, rebounded toward Liu Penghai in an instant.
At incredible speed.
The rebounding blood-red light now possessed an even greater attacking power against the Divine Soul.
After being engulfed, Liu Penghai's body stiffened immediately, his face a picture of disbelief as he felt the relentless blood-red light penetrating his brow, "How is this possible? How can you rebound my Blood Sea Soul Devour? This is a three-star Immortal Technique!"
In the midst of speaking.
Shen Feng had already pounced towards him.
At this moment, Liu Penghai couldn't even think of resisting, he couldn't even twitch.
"This level of strength really isn't worth mentioning!" Shen Feng suddenly emerged in front of Liu Penghai and hurled a punch straight towards his chest, unleashing a terrifying force within his fist.
Just then, the aura of the Initial Stage of the Transcendence Tribulation by Fifth Elder suddenly spread out, "Kid, stay your hand!"
"Bang!"
But all that met his demand was a devastatingly powerful punch.
Shen Feng's fist pierced directly through the position of Liu Penghai's heart in his chest, eventually emerging from his back.
