Chapter 194: Four Extreme (1/2)
Observing the large, hill-like demonic face, Chen Feng thought to himself. What kind of technique is this? Would this face try to eat me up?
Chen Feng’s guess was spot on. The large demonic face abruptly opened up its mouth and a force directly brought Chen Feng into its mouth.
It is seriously eating me? The thought flashed through Chen Feng’s mind.
Next, Chen Feng struggled fiercely only to sense sticky slime all round him. The more he struggled, the more uncomfortable it made him. He could also feel a corrosive force acting upon his body. It did not take long for itchy and pricking sensations to beset his skin.
This is definitely demonic energy, but its power has risen to such a degree. Chen Feng attempted to absorb some of them and felt that it was very difficult to refine. However, it was still impossible for the demonic energy to corrode him.
“This is a more broadly known technique in the Demon Plane. Honestly speaking, it is nothing. If your cultivation base is any higher, you could gulp down all of this transformed demonic energy. Another option is to break it through brute force,” Tower said coolly.
Chen Feng could feel the demonic energy around him gradually becoming thicker. Additionally, one tendril after another began growing out to wrap him up. After struggling a few times, Chen Feng found that he was unable to break out. He could feel that 80 % of the force that his four limbs were unleashing into his surroundings was dissipated by the demonic energy.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Chen Feng brought out the Overwhelming Astral Sword to cut the layers of demonic energy around him. However, the layers of demonic energy were like sugar candy. They rapidly gathered together again and the wrapping strength behind them grew even more resilient.
Brandishing Bloody Soul, Chen Feng kept stabbing holes into the layers of demonic energy around him, but to no avail. There were too many layers of demonic energy around him. Unless Chen Feng could break out fast enough, it would not work.
“Hey, hey! These layers of demonic energy are formed from all the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters’ demonic energy. Even with Prized artefacts, it will be difficult for you to break through,” said Tower, who cackled at Chen Feng’s misfortune.
After struggling for a moment, Chen Feng felt that he was simply wasting his strength. Thus, he stopped attacking, leaving just the Overwhelming Astral Sword to protect himself while he gathered his strength and instead concentrated on assailing the barrier in his sea of wisdom. He wanted to succeed in reaching level 3 of the Concealed stage in one fell swoop.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
Chen Feng’s Soulflame kept bombarding the barrier, causing more and more cracks to appear on the barrier and eventually, strands of extremely pure energy flowed out from the cracks. The power contained within each strand shocked Chen Feng.
Rumble!
The first strand of energy to flow out immediately unleashed out a formidable force, clashing against Chen Feng’s sea of wisdom to abruptly make Chen Feng’s sea of wisdom one notch larger.
Rumble!
Another strand of energy flowed out and Chen Feng felt his soul shudder as a result. The brightness of his Soulflame suddenly soared as its flames rose high.
Rumble!
Another strand of energy flowed out. This time, the strand of energy charged through his sea of wisdom to enter his Heavenly Origin acupoint. Instantly, his Heavenly Origin acupoint roiled as waves of formidable power kept growing within it.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The following strands of energy became like bolts of lightning, tearing open the sky and the earth, charging forward with an overbearing nature into the Magnetic, Celestial Yang, Celestial Metropolis and Celestial Fate acupoints that Chen Feng had opened. A heavy feeling pressed down on Chen Feng. It was as though a moment’s carelessness on his part would result in the explosive destruction of those insight acupoints.
After nearly filling up the insight acupoints, the strands of energy flowing out from the sea of wisdom began filling Chen Feng’s meridians, muscles, bones, internal organs, blood and every other part of his body as they circulated around.
The power he had exhausted in the earlier fight recovered in the span of just a few breaths. Additionally, it was surging with an even greater intensity. As for the wounds on his body, they were healing up at a noticeable rate.
The amount of wondrous energy released this time is so high! Chen Feng was shocked. At this rate, he would be engulfed by the energy once the 3rd barrier was broken. In the end, the overpowering energy will cause his body to self-destruct.
By then, however, those thoughts were useless. The number of cracks on the barrier was increasing and more strands of energy shot out.
“Heh, although this kid’s body and soul essence were damaged back then, the energy essence hidden inside his sea of wisdom can make up for it. Although his talent is not very outstanding, cultivating step-by-step will make a very solid foundation,” Tower said coolly.
Pa!
A snapping sound rang out. As Chen Feng’s soul power grew stronger, a small opening finally appeared upon the barrier. A thunderous rumble immediately reverberated as the energy flowing out from the opening became like a torrential river.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The mighty power washed over every part of Chen Feng’s body. Chen Feng could feel the pure and cooling energy washing his bones and meridians, ridding the impurities away from them to make his fleshly body even stronger.
Boom!
The barrier before his 3rd sea of wisdom layer was completely broken at last. Like a waterfall flowing in reverse, the streams of energy roared out like tidal waves and Chen Feng felt his Soulflame shuddering, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing.
Too powerful, too powerful! Chen Feng’s whole body was trembling as goose bumps broke out across his body. His soul was quaking ceaselessly. It was not a power that Chen Feng could refine and absorb.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
His Heavenly Origin acupoint had been filled to the brim and could no longer fill any more of the energy.
