CHAPTER 702: CHAPTER 556_2

The scalding hot blood sprayed into the void, and the three figures in black robes didn’t even have a chance to utter a sound before they perished instantly.

The scene fell silent in an instant, everyone from the Red Blood Faction stared wide-eyed, incredulously witnessing the spectacle.

"Squad Leader!"

"Our Squad Leader has been killed! The two Vice Leaders have been killed too!"

"How is this possible?"

A multitude of experts from the Red Blood Faction exclaimed in shock, with faces filled with horror.

In a single move!

Just one move, and the Squad Leader of the Red Blood Faction, along with two Vice Leaders, had met their grisly end. What terrifying power that must be!

"Li Feng, Xiao Ba, prepare for cultivation!"

Lin Feng spoke to Li Feng and Xiao Ba before his form shifted and he left Xiao Ba’s back.

Li Feng, hearing this, was taken aback. Prepare for cultivation?

In such circumstances, wasn’t it time to slay enemies left and right? How could there be time for cultivation?

At this moment, Li Feng saw a massive shadow suddenly emerge on Lin Feng’s body. This shadow was immensely vast, covering dozens of feet, and it was a gigantic vortex as black as ink.

Then, after hearing Lin Feng’s thundering shout, a chilling and horrifying vision appeared.

"Endless Blood River, come forth!" A cold, piercing voice erupted from Lin Feng’s mouth.

The next moment, thousands of low-cultivation black-robed figures in the valley exploded and perished in the blink of an eye.

Even among the soaring black-robed figures, those at the True Spirit Realm also burst apart and died.

Those Earth Martial Masters in black robes shook violently, their bodies rapidly withering at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to skin and bones, equivalent to ghastly specters.

The Endless Blood River and the soaring Blood Sea, mixed with True Qi, True Yuan, Vigorous Origin, and Star Essence, surged majestically towards Lin Feng, like myriad streams returning to the sea.

This scene was unspeakably bloody and shockingly soul-stirring!

In the blink of an eye, the Endless Blood River completely enshrouded Lin Feng.

Xiao Ba and Li Feng were also encompassed within the Blood River.

Lin Feng’s Demon Dragon Star had somewhat controlled the intensity of the Devouring Power. Xiao Ba was not affected at all, and even if Li Feng felt some effects, the impact was minimal.

That was because Li Feng possessed no Cultivation Power within his body, and his physical strength was tremendously strong, with exceptionally condensed Qi-Blood, hence he was unharmed.

At this point, Li Feng finally understood why Lin Feng had said to prepare for cultivation!

The blood aura within this Endless Blood River was incredibly vast, and the myriad of mixed True Yuan and Vigorous Origin was equally immense. Wasn’t this an excellent opportunity for cultivation?

This Blood River and various True Yuan and Vigorous Origin might be useless to other Martial Artists, but for those who practiced the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, it was an elixir.

Without any hesitation, Li Feng immediately began to cultivate, with the illusion of the Ancient Dragon Elephant continually flickering around him.

Xiao Ba was even more domineering; opening its massive maw, the Endless Blood River rushed in like the floodgates had opened, pouring madly into its mouth.

Lin Feng was also cultivating. His cultivation had already reached the peak of an Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer, and he aimed to break through to the Martial Master Eighth Layer Realm with the power of this Endless Blood River and the boundless True Yuan and Vigorous Origin.

Although these people had low cultivation levels, lacked robust power, and had not-so-strong Qi-Blood, their sheer numbers were their advantage.

Nearly six thousand individuals from the Red Blood Branch were rendered utterly powerless against Lin Feng’s Devouring Power, and in less than a breath’s time, they all perished.

Even the Earth Martial Masters at Level Five had no ability to resist; in an instant, they were drained dry, turning into mummies.

Soon, the entire valley quieted down, silent and still, with only a gigantic blood sphere, tens of feet across, quietly suspended in the sky.

As time slowly passed, whether it was Lin Feng, Li Feng, or Xiao Ba, their strength was climbing.

However, Lin Feng’s cultivation had not yet broken through, but his Star Essence had advanced first.

A purple glow flickered, and atop Lin Feng’s Demon Dragon Star, a ninth purple halo appeared.

The Star Essence of nearly six thousand individuals had been devoured by him, finally allowing his Demon Dragon Star to progress further.

Lin Feng’s heart surged with excitement; he was at Earth Level Nine. As long as his Demon Dragon Star could advance again, it would reach the Heavenly Level.

His Demon Dragon Star had undergone a qualitative transformation from the Human Level to the Earth Level, able to devour Spirit Stones and others’ cultivation. He wondered what changes would occur if it advanced to the Heavenly Level?

Lin Feng was quietly looking forward to it.

As time elapsed, the massive blood sphere began to shrink, getting smaller and smaller.

Lin Feng’s cultivation still hadn’t broken through, causing him to slightly furrow his brows. Although the Blood River was powerful, its Qi-Blood was still not magnificent enough.

Moreover, this Qi-Blood and Power were only a small half.

"Add more effort!"

Lin Feng swung his arm, and a mountain-like heap of Middle Grade Spirit Stones appeared before him, which then immediately exploded, as infinite Spiritual Energy surged forth.

Drawn by the Devouring Power, the endless Spiritual Energy formed a dense Spirit Fog, enveloping Lin Feng, Li Feng, and Xiao Ba within.

Boom boom boom!!

The Nine Spirit Vortices within Lin Feng’s body vibrated incessantly, continuing to assault the Eighth Layer Realm of an Earth Martial Master.

Under this colossal surge of Spiritual Energy, it wasn’t long before Lin Feng’s cultivation bottleneck finally began to loosen.

Moments later, a powerful aura burst forth from Lin Feng’s body, and he finally surpassed the cultivation bottleneck, reaching the Eighth Layer Realm of an Earth Martial Master.

A lot of Spiritual Energy remained, and Lin Feng continued to absorb it. After a while, when all the Spiritual Energy and Qi-Blood had dissipated, Lin Feng’s cultivation reached the Middle Stage of the Earth Martial Master Eighth Layer.

Phew!

Releasing a breath of turbid air, Lin Feng’s face revealed a hint of a smile. He didn’t continue to devour Spirit Stones for cultivation; after annihilating the Hongyu Blood Luo Hall, there would be even more nutrients, so there was no need to waste the Spirit Stones now.

Turning to look at Li Feng and Xiao Ba, Lin Feng’s expression became slightly stunned, followed by a wry smile on his face.

His rate of improvement was indeed too slow compared to that of Li Feng and Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba had already reached the level of a Ninth Rank Level Four Demon Beast, and its aura was immensely vast, almost nearing a Level Five Demon Beast.

As for Li Feng, it was even more exaggerated. Judging from the golden light flickering around him, his Physical Strength had also become comparable to that of an Eighth Layer Earth Martial Master.

Impressive!

Lin Feng couldn’t help but inwardly sigh. The Nine Spirit Vortices truly delayed his Cultivation Level significantly.

Afterward, Lin Feng and Li Feng descended into a valley, searching the area for a long while, yet they found no sign of the Red Blood Faction’s Treasure Vault. Perhaps the Red Blood Faction didn’t have one.

However, Lin Feng didn’t intend to overlook the Storage Rings of the deceased members of the Red Blood Faction.

He picked up the Storage Rings of the Red Blood Faction Squad Leader and two Vice Leaders, while all the other Storage Rings were given to Li Feng.

Then, the two men and one beast left the valley, heading toward the Tianhong Empire.

The headquarters of the Hongyu Blood Luo Hall were located in the Blood Refining Gorge of the Tianhong Empire.

The Blood Refining Gorge was situated in a barren mountain in the eastern part of the Tianhong Empire, approximately sixty thousand li from Wuning Country.

A night’s journey would suffice for Xiaotian to reach it.

While Lin Feng and Li Feng were on their way to the Blood Refining Gorge, near the Hongyu’s border within the Yuanwu Domain, a stern-faced Python Robed Youth was racing through the sky, with a speed like that of the wind and lightning, incredibly swift.

"Why would Lin Feng come to a forsaken place like Hongyu?"

The stern youth frowned deeply, murmuring to himself, "Could it be that he is actually from Hongyu?"

At this moment, the youth’s complexion was not looking good. He had followed Lin Feng all the way from Xuan Domain, crossing dozens of Domains, after going through countless hardships.

The few Upper Grade Spirit Stones he had were completely depleted due to the use of Transmission Arrays.

In fact, in two smaller Domains, he had chosen to fly directly to save on Spirit Stones.

Moreover, if it weren’t for his extraordinary Talent and formidable strength that were well-known throughout East Continent, other Domain’s major powers would definitely not have lent him the Transmission Arrays.

If it were any other Martial Artist of the same Rank, it would be impossible to follow from Xuan Domain to Hongyu.

"Dammit! The losses this time are too great!"

The stern youth clenched his fists, but thinking of the treasures on Lin Feng, his expression eased slightly.

"This time, no one will be able to save you. I will not only have you spit out everything you’ve swallowed, but I’ll also take your life!"

The voice of the stern youth was cold as ice. Lin Feng was a Disciple of Sky-reaching Peak, with no ordinary status. If he were to make a move against him, he must strike with a Thunderbolt, completely annihilating him to prevent any future troubles.

He had been patient for so long, and finally, there was this opportunity, which he definitely would not let slip by.

Moments later, the stern-faced youth entered the territory of Hongyu.
